PROC REPORT - VARIABLES TO BE DISPLAYED

West26 — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 16:53:47 GMT

Hello,

I have the below issue with proc report:

Present proc report stmt:
proc report data= atpresent nowd box nowd ls =256 split='*' STYLE(header)=[just=left BACKGROUND= gray FONT_WEIGHT= bold];
define Master_ID/display "Master ID" style(column)={just=center tagattr="type:String"};
define SUPERVISER_ID /display "SUPERVISER ID" style(column)={just=center tagattr="type:String"};

The variables should not split when they appear in the report:

Based on the lengh of the variable values, the variable names are displaying now like below

Master ID     SUPERVISER     EMPLOY Id        Report
                       ID                                                   Date
11111111111 22222222      AB1010101010 QX-XXXX

But I need SUPERVISE ID the same line like Master ID, same thing applies to Report Date as well.

I have tried by modifying the above proc report stmt, by removing the split='*' and adding a widht stmt like below, but doesn't seems to work.

proc report data= atpresent nowd box nowd ls =256 STYLE(header)=[just=left BACKGROUND= gray FONT_WEIGHT= bold];
define Master_ID/display "Master ID" style(column)={just=center tagattr="type:String"} width=12;
define SUPERVISER_ID /display "SUPERVISER ID" style(column)={just=center tagattr="type:String"} width=12;

What should I do to get the report like

Master ID        SUPERVISER ID EMPLOY Id          Report Date

11111111111 22222222            AB1010101010      QX-XXXX

Easiest is likely to just make the column wider than the procedure is defaulting to for that variable.

define SUPERVISER_ID /display "SUPERVISER ID" style(column)={just=center cellwidth= 1.5in tagattr="type:String"};

would set the column width to 1.5 inches. You can use other units of measure like mm or cm if more comfortable with those. Adjust the number to the appearance you want.

To help improve the readability of your code, please format it nicely, then click on the "running man" icon and paste the code into that box. Thanks!

When you give us your SAS code include ODS statements.
