Insert a snippet of HTML code to modify SAS output

sam_sas2 — Wed, 11 May 2022 14:33:35 GMT

So I am currently trying to modify the position of my PROC LIFETEST output.

I was able to generate an HTML output, did inspect element and move the tables around as I needed.

Now, is there a way for me to code it into SAS to make sure the changes are permanent?

Usually easier to modify the style templates or create a custom template.

I couldn't find a good resource where template was used to modify existing PROC output layouts. I did find on updating the content and color but not the position!

Hi:
If you want to put the tables side-by-side with the graph, then you'll need to write your own ODS LAYOUT and ODS REGION statements to do that.

Hi Cynthia!

Thanks for the response!
Could you tell me how to refer the table in an ODS layout statement? I’m only aware of using the ods layout statement with a proc prints!

Hi:
ODS LAYOUT and ODS REGION can be used with more than just PROC PRINT. I don't exactly understand what you mean by refer to the table. ODS LAYOUT and ODS REGION define areas in the output where the procedure will place the table. So in a sense, think of it like control statements. ODS LAYOUT and ODS REGION get specified first, to define an area in the output. Next, you have a procedure that's going to produce a table or graph and the destination will put the table or graph into the defined area. So the ODS LAYOUT and ODS REGION are controlling statements. If you want 2 areas, side by side, you'd define 1 row and 2 columns. If you want 2 areas side by side with 1 area underneath, then you'd define 2 rows, with 2 columns in the 1st row and 1 column in the 2nd row. In this case, you're not defining table rows, you're dividing the output area into areas or regions that will contain your procedure output.
Take a look at the papers, I think it will make more sense then.
