Hi, is there any way in SAS 9.4 to change the fonts in a dataset?

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

"Base SAS 9.4" can describe DMS, EG, SAS Studio, etc. You still haven't answered my question.

However, I'm assuming you mean DMS, so perhaps this helps?

Please post your question as a self-contained data step in the form of "have" (source) and "want" (desired results).
I won't contribute to your post if I can't cut-and-paste your syntactically correct code into SAS.

Which client? EG? DMS? SAS Studio? ...

Thanks very much for your response, Scott!

Unfortunately I can't change the configuration file, and in SAS 9.4 I'm not even sure of the location/name. Since, there is no other way around this, I'll just have to probably switch to SAS Studio.

A late reply, but a reply nonetheless...

Assumptions:

You have SAS 9.4 Base installed (i.e. DMS) on your desktop machine

Your install is under Windows

It is a "usual" install (i.e. normal program groups, desktop icons, etc).

1) Locate your SAS 9.4 icon: either Start -> All Programs -> SAS -> SAS 9.4 icon, or perhaps you have a copy on your desktop

2) RMB the icon and select properties

3) Copy the target path

4) Note the location of the config file

5) Copy the config file somewhere where you have write access

6) Edit the config file to your heart's content - I expect you to read the doc for this part 😉 Nested configurations can be quite useful.

7) Copy the existing icon, for example RMB, hold, and drag it to your desktop

😎 Edit that icon, changing the target path to point to your customized config file

9) Optional: Change the icon image to something else so you know that icon has the customized config file
