How to spanrows sas 9.2

[nirali514]

Hi! I'd like to merge a column so that the cell data shows up centered of the rows.

Curenttly spanrows does not show up blue as an optional function.

any ideas as to why?

1. editor isn't always great at highlighting, so test it and see if it works.

2. It may not have been available in SAS 9.2 - you may need to be more specific about your version. 9.2 is fairly old now, so if you can update I would consider that, updates are included in your annual license.

Hi:
I no longer have SAS 9.2 to test with. But even in 9.4, SPANROWS doesn't get color coded, but the option still works.

What happens when you try it?

Lots of syntax, depending on version, does not get highlighted. Much of the Proc Template code and ODS Style elements for instance in my 9.2 install do not show highlighting

Spanrows would go on the Proc Report statement.
