How to set length of footnote in proc report

[knveraraju91]

Dear,

I am getting the following warning message when I run Proc report because of footnote1. I tried set linesize to 300. It didnot help. Please help in my code.Thanks.

"WARNING: The quoted string currently being processed has become more than 262 characters long.
You might have unbalanced quotation marks."

Code:

OPTIONS nodate nonumber linesize=300;
ods listing close;
ods escapechar="^";
title1 justify=right 'page ^{pageof}';
title2 "Table 1 Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Occurring in >=5% of Subjects in Any Treatment Group with Onset Pre-Randomization by
System Organ Class and Preferred Term (Safety Population)";

footnote1 "Note: Adverse events are coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), Version 18.0. Percentages are based on N, number of
subjects within each treatment group in the analysis population who took study drug before randomization. Multiple entries for an individual under system organ
class/preferred term are only counted once.";

footnote2 "Source: Reference Listing 16.2.7.1";
footnote3 "Program Name: t-14-03-01-02-01a.sas Table Generation: 07JUL2016 13:12";

You will get that as long as you use a quoted string. Note that it is not an error. Typically the cause of long strings is mismatched quotes. If you know that is not the case then proceed. If you can't have warnings in the log then you'll have to come up with some other approach such as splitting the text into two footnotes.

Maybe this option could get you get rid of this WARRING Message:

options noquotelenmax;

Thanks. That helped me. I need one more help. If possible can you help in my code to produce output I need(Similar to Vendor data). i am attaching two word documents with one my output and one vendor output. Please help

My code;

OPTIONS nodate nonumber noquotelenmax;
ods listing close;
ods escapechar="^";
title1 justify=right 'page ^{pageof}';
title2 " Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Occurring in >=5% of Subjects in Any Treatment Group with Onset Pre-Randomization by

You could use this RAW code to get that underline.


ods escapechar="^";
proc report...;
  columns x ("^R'\brdrb\brdrs\brdrw15 'Powers" y z) ;

Dear,

Thanks for the help. I almost very close to getting the output I need. But one more issue. I need to have the second  underline after first row of values . I am attaching a sample document showing my output and the output I need. Please help in my code. The code that I am using is the one posted in the forum

Why put that extremely long footnote oin one statement?  You have up to 9 footnote places, the only time you would need a really long one (in which case you would use rtf line breaks) is if you have more than that.  Simply changing your code slightly to:

footnote1 "Note: Adverse events are coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), Version 18.0. Percentages are based on N, number of";
footnote2 "subjects within each treatment group in the analysis population who took study drug before randomization. Multiple entries for an individual under system organ class/preferred term are only counted once.";
footnote3 "Source: Reference Listing 16.2.7.1";
footnote4 "Program Name: t-14-03-01-02-01a.sas Table Generation: 07JUL2016 13:12";

Will resolve the warning you get - note that warnings are given for a reason, hiding them with options is only viable if you know what your doing - this would come out as a QC finding if I saw it.

As a final note, why are you hardcoding datetime stamp in your footnote - this again would be a QC finding from my side, use:

%sysfunc(date(),date9.) %sysfunc(time(),time5.)

in your footnote so you get acurate information.  You will also want to strip % of N values, that doc you post has wrapping and stuff going on - not good.  Also, I would be careful about what you post, it is far better to make up some test data, and show that as datastep and required output than actually using study data outputs.
