Creating a Proc Report rtf with special characters

[ECrecelius333]

Hello,

My table should look like this: 

But the output in Word will not print the ^ symbol.  Is there a way to fix this?

[data_null__ · Accepted solution]

Probably due to ODS ESCAPECHAR='^';
Check the automatic variable AUTOMATIC SYSODSESCAPECHAR ^

[ECrecelius333]

That was included in my code as:  

options orientation=landscape topmargin=.25in bottommargin=.25in
leftmargin=.25in rightmargin=.25in;
ods escapechar = '^';

Am I able to remove this? When I removed it, it did not fix the problem.

Try changing the single ^ to two ^^ in your data. If you want to keep the escape character the same.

I replaced it with ODS ESCAPECHAR='@' and it worked! Thank you!

You may have to specify a FONT using the style attributes in proc report to override the default font that your current style is using for output.

It might help to provide

1) the Proc Report code you are currently using

2)indicate which variable needs the characters

3)you may also have to provide information about what you are showing the text from if it is not a SAS data set or proc output. Like the document setting.
