Simply justify as per title number!

ihtarahb — Wed, 03 Jun 2015 22:56:27 GMT

Hello ,

I am looking for a simple tweak in my style template , to mention title1-title4 as left justified and title5-title9 as center justified . I have got some 30 tables to report and I do not want to insert j=c in every table title4-9 . Please let me know if there is an easy way to achieve this multiple justification for all the tables in a report. proc template; header ? or any function that checks title number ?

Thanks !

What's your destination, HTML, PDF?

You could probably do it via a template or CSS Style sheet.

See if this gives you a starting point.

proc template;
   define style Styles.myFontsize ;
   parent = Styles.default; /* or the one you prefer*/
    style SystemTitle from TitlesAndFooters /
      fontsize= 26pt;
   style SystemTitle2 from SystemTitle /
      fontsize= 24pt;
   style SystemTitle3 from SystemTitle2 /
      fontsize= 22pt;
   style SystemTitle4 from SystemTitle3 /
      just=center
      fontsize= 20pt;
   style SystemTitle5 from SystemTitle4 /
      fontsize= 18pt;
   style SystemTitle6 from SystemTitle5 /
      fontsize= 16pt;
   style SystemTitle7 from SystemTitle6 /
      fontsize= 14pt;
   style SystemTitle8 from SystemTitle7 /
      just=right
      fontsize= 12pt;
   style SystemTitle9 from SystemTitle8 /
      fontsize= 10pt;
   style SystemTitle10 from SystemTitle9 /
      fontsize= 8pt;
   style SystemFooter from TitlesAndFooters /
      fontsize= 26pt;
   style SystemFooter2 from SystemFooter /
      fontsize= 24pt;
   style SystemFooter3 from SystemFooter2 /
      just=center
      fontsize= 22pt;
   style SystemFooter4 from SystemFooter3 /
      fontsize= 20pt;

Thanks a lot Ballard ! It worx . Does title10 really work ? it has many times overwritten my title1 .

Reeza , I was writing to a PDF.

Test Code :

proc template;

define style Styles.testpatience ;

parent = Styles.Mypdf;

style systemTitle /

just = left

font_size = 5

font_weight = bold

font_style = italic

;

/* Until title5 the above attribs are applied */

style SystemTitle5 from SystemTitle /

just=center;

/*This Attrib is Applied to all the titles from title5 */

style systemFooter /

just = left

font_size = 5

;

end;

run;

The example I provided, at least in HTML, shows Title10 text on my system.

I would look for a missing "0" (zero) on a title statement somewhere that you think is a title10 statement.

As an alternative, you could set a dataset up to hold title/footnote and style information and generate from there:

SECTION NO JUST TEXT ... Could add style etc.

TITLE 1 L ABV

TITLE 2 R ERT

...

data _null_;

call execute(cats(section," ",strip(put(no,best.))," j=",just," '",text,"';");

run;

If you have a lot of titles it nice to be able to store them, qc them, manage them in a dataset or Excel file and not need to type them out.
