Text alignment in Proc Report to PDF

sandyming — Wed, 30 Oct 2013 13:43:05 GMT

Now, the PDF output using ODS + Proc Report, is like this (textalign=r):

Name

100 (100.0)

5 (3,8)

Is there a way that I can align the column like this?

Name

100 (100.0)

5 ( 3.8)

Thanks.

Sandy

Hi:

Is your NAME variable a character variable? And if so, do you have a leading space(s) in front of the 3.8? With the code below, I find that the first 3 obs, that are "padded" or the right number of characters, does work correctly in PDF. But the last obs doesn't look right, even with Courier New font, because the (3.8) isn't as wide as the (100.0).

data testit;
infile datalines;
input @1 Name $char11.;
obsnum=_n_;
return;
datalines;
100 (100.0)
5 ( 3.8)
12 (999.9)
15 (3.8)
;
run;

ods pdf file='c:\temp\testits.pdf';

proc report data=testit;
   column obsnum Name;
   define obsnum / order;
   define Name / display
          style(column)={just=r font_face='Courier New' font_weight=bold};
run;
ods pdf close;
