Superscript or Subscript in SAS dataset

Almighty — Wed, 24 Sep 2014 16:13:26 GMT

I wanted to make superscripts and subscrpts in the SAS dataset it self.

The data I have:

TESTCD='INCL01'

TEST="How to make (a+b)2 in this test and make subscript a2 for the same"

DATA NEED;

TESTCD ="INCL01"

TEST ="How to make (a+b)39 in this test and make subscript a2 for the same"

I need 39 as superscript and 2 as subscript...

Thanks for your time.

tekst layout - fonts are not part of characterset. By concept you cannot store basic text that way.
When going to do some output/reports you can do the tekst formatting as part of ODS.

As Jaap has mentioned, superscript/subscript and all the fancy stuff is not part of the "data", it is only for display purposes. Now you can have a dataset with the codes within ready for display such as:

data want;

a="^{sub This text} is subscripted, and ^{super This Text} is superscripted"; output;

run;

ods escapechar="^";

ods rtf file="xxx.rtf" style=statistical;

proc report data=want nowd;

run;

ods rtf close;

And in the output file you will see super/sub scripted, but the data will still contain just the line presented in the datastep.
