Superscript b using sas

Jagadishkatam — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 14:28:33 GMT

Hi All,

Need a help.

I would like to get the superscrip for b in a footnote in the report. like for example Patients b, this b needs to be displayed in the superscript form using sas code. Any suggestion would be really helpful.

Thanks Jag

This paper describes exactly what you need.

http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi31/177-31.pdf

And a bit simpler code:

Subscript or Superscript in the footers/titles of RTF output | StudySAS Blog

Good luck!

Thanks,

OK, if you open the second paper you will see a good simple example:

************************************************************;
data test;
length secnam $15;
input sortord secnam $ pvalue;
cards;
1 demog 0.8812
2 ae 0.7112
3 disposition 0.8112
4 medicalhistory 0.9112
;
run;

ods listing close;
ods rtf file="Test output.rtf" style=rtfout;
ods escapechar='\';

proc report data = test missing split="$" spacing=0 headline nowd;
column sortord secnam pvalue;
define sortord / order noprint;
define secnam / order flow "Demographics$Variable\{super a}";
define pvalue / display flow "ANOVA$P-Value\{sub p}";
run;

ods rtf close;
ods trace off;
ods listing;

Hi Anca,

The above example works in the titles names, like the variable names, i need to display the superscript b with in the columns.

Thanks,

Jag

using the sample code above, you could add a format that will add the superscript. I am actually confused about waht do you need.

Basically, to add a superscript you define escapechar = '\', then add to the text you want superscript the "\{super b}"

Hmmm...

Can you give an example of the table?

proc format;

value $ col demog = "demog\{super a}" ae = "ae\{super b}";

quit;

ods listing close;
ods rtf file="Test output.rtf" style=rtfout;
ods escapechar='\';

proc report data = test missing split="$" spacing=0 headline nowd;
column sortord secnam pvalue;
define sortord / order noprint;
define secnam / order flow "Demographics$Variable\{super a}";
define pvalue / display flow "ANOVA$P-Value\{sub p}";

format secnam $col.;
run;

ods rtf close;
ods trace off;
ods listing;

Hi Arca,

you understood it well and what you have mentioned above works well. This is the same i require.

However it works well in the pc sas, however it is not working in sas on java platform.

So i would appreciate if you know any alternative way.

Thanks,

Jag

Jag,

I do not know the answer to your java platform problem.

Sorry, but hopefully someone around the forum will know it.

Best of luck!

Anca.

That's fine Arca. you provided a very useful answer earlier.
