I have a program that I need to run multiple times to produce reports for multiple school districts (using ODS PDF). I use the following to title my pages.
Before running my program,
%LET DISTNAME = Example;
Within my program,
TITLE1 "&DISTNAME.".;
This works fine for me. I would also like to add some descriptive text using ODS PDF TEXT= and mention the district name in the text. How do I do that?
ODS PDF TEXT = '^S={just=center font=("Times New Roman",14PT,Bold)} Report produced for &DISTNAME. ISD';
is not working.
I see why. Font name needs to be enclosed in single quotes when the overall text enclosed in double quotes.
Please see the example below.
%LET DISTNAME = Example;
ods escapechar='^';
TITLE1 "&DISTNAME.";
ods pdf file='d:\temp\test.pdf';
proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;
ODS PDF TEXT = "^S={just=center font=('Times New Roman',14PT,Bold)} Report produced for &DISTNAME. ISD";
%* ODS PDF TEXT = "^S={just=center font=(""Times New Roman"",14PT,Bold)} Report produced for &DISTNAME. ISD"; //* This would work, too */
ods pdf close;
Can you try enclosing in double quotes instead of single?
ODS PDF TEXT = "^S={just=center font=("Times New Roman",14PT,Bold)} Report produced for &DISTNAME. ISD";
No, that didn't work either ...

Alpay, that worked, thank you!
