libname PNBD meta library="PNBD DB2 Library" metaout=data;
%GLOBAL _ODSOPTIONS _ODSDEST _ODSSTYLE _ODSSTYLESHEET ;
%macro output;
%GLOBAL OUTFMT1 _odsoptions ;
%let OUTFMT1 = &_ODSDEST;
%local OLD_HEADER OUTPUT_FORMAT;
%if (%upcase(&_ODSDEST) eq EXCEL) %then %do;
%let _ODSDEST = HTML;
%let OUTPUT_FORMAT = HTML;
%let OLD_HEADER =
%sysfunc(stpsrv_header(Content-type,application/vnd.ms-excel));
%end;
%else %if (%upcase(&_ODSDEST) eq PDF) %then %do;
%let OUTPUT_FORMAT = HTML;
%let OLD_HEADER =
%sysfunc(stpsrv_header(Content-type,application/pdf));
%let _odsoptions =startpage=NO ls=256 notoc; <---SAS LOG SHOWING SYNTAX ERROR BUT WONT EFFECT EXCEL OUTPUT.

Try to get something simple to work, and then incrementally add more complex logic:

[pre]%let RV=%sysfunc(appsrv_header(Content-type,application/vnd.ms-excel));
%let _ODSDEST=html;
%STPBEGIN;
proc print data=sashelp.class; run; quit;
%STPEND;[/pre]
