I want to improve readability by controlling where ods pdf breaks long ROW labels. I already know how to handle COLUMN labels, by using the SPLIT command in PROC TEMPLATE. I am using SAS 9.2.
Here are the relevant bits of my ods code:
ods pdf file="c:\tmp\2010_D22.pdf";
data_null;set de22uccs;
[title lines]
format ucause $de22_pr.;
file print ods=(template="mytable");
put _ods_;
ods pdf close;
The format statement $de22_pr contains long lines like
'12'='N00-N07, N17-N19, N25-N27. NEPHRITIS, NEPH. SYNDROME, NEPHROSIS'
I tried using the SPLIT command (SPLIT='*') and inserting a * into this line. The * simply appeared in my output.
I tried using <BR> (from ods html) but it doesn't work in ods pdf.
Any ideas would be appreaciated.
Thanks,
David
Try the NEWLINE inline function. If the ODS escapechar is ^ then it would be coded as ^{NEWLINE}. See http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/odsug/61723/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a002233270.htm.
