Hello all,

I have done a bit of search on how to left/center/right justify column headings in proc print but haven't found much... I have found 'Style' and 'Justify' but neither seem to work in my code.

Please let me know if you know how this can be done.

Many thanks Smiley Happy

Hi:

  I do not see any code where you have actually TRIED style= with justification overrides. Can you try a report using SASHELP.CLASS and see whether your STYLE override works? For example, the code below justifies correctly (and changes colors correctly) for me. I made the report wide so you could REALLY see the impact of the justification.

ods _all_ close;
ods html file='c:\temp\print_just.html' style=sasweb;

proc print data=sashelp.class(obs=3)
  style(header)={just=c foreground=black}
  style(table)={width=100%};
  title 'Make the report very wide to see justification';
  var name / style(data)={just=r}
             style(header)={background=pink};
  var age / style(data)={just=l};
  var sex height / style(data)={just=c}
                   style(header)={background=yellow};
  var weight / style(data)={just=l};
run;
ods html close;

It's a simple proc print outputing to HTML.... it looks something like this:

ods html file="**********";

proc print data= **********%scan(&FEDs.,&i.)_c9 (drop=NEW_ED_Code OLD_ED_Code) split="*" noobs;

Title1 "&&FEDPr&i.";

Footnote1 "**********";

label  **********;

format **********.;

run;

ods html close;
