Ods escapechar for Visual Analytics?

acordes — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 09:30:13 GMT

Is it possible to tell VA to interpret ods escapechar='^' like I would do in SAS Studio?

/* This produces nice output (linebreaks) in SAS Studio */

ods escapechar='^';
proc cas;
	table.fetch / table={name="myTable" caslib="public"}, to=1;
run;

Hi,

From my understanding, SAS VA doesn't provide functions from GUI that does what "ods escapechar" function does in the SAS Studio. However, can you provide me with a detailed example of your use case and what do you want to achieve in SAS VA? I will try to think of possible workarounds for you. Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. It's not so important, I would come handy but let's not invest more time.
