Hi:
Just a note. The "width=200" will end up having an impact on the HEADER cells (the COLUMN headers) -- as seen in the report below -- it doesn't matter whether I have long labels for the headers or short labels...the same width is used for all the cells. The concept of "autofit" is an Excel or spreadsheet concept. It usuallyl doesn't apply to ODS destinations like LISTING (which uses the format width) or ODS HTML, RTF and PDF. The width=200 may give the results you want in PDF, however, PDF output can also be impacted by the UNIFORM option, as well. Also, the width=200 may not work in other destinations the way it works for you in PDF. For example, in PDF, the long labels end up wrapping to the width of 200; but in HTML, the Header cells expands, as needed.
Also, as a best practice, it is a good idea with PROC PRINT and PROC REPORT to use a LOCATION in the STYLE override, such as:
[pre]
style(header)={color=black}
style(column)={color=blue}
[/pre]
(And, this posting doesn't seem to have anything to do with SAS/GRAPH or ODS GRAPHICS -- it seems more to apply to just ODS and Base SAS Reporting -- so in the future, you might want to post questions like this to the other ODS forum.)
