Hi,

 

I'm using a slightly modified version of ODS TAGSET.RTF and I can't figure out how to print a bold line under the table headers.

 

The only solution I found so far that works properly is the following in "define event data":

 

...

            do /if $tables_off;
                put "}" NL;
            else;       

                do /if VALUE and cmp( $section_tbl, "table_head");                    
                    put "\brdrb\brdrs\brdrw30";
                done; 
          
                put "\cell}" NL;
            done;

 

The problem with this solution is that if I have a blank space as the table header (i.e. define varxxx / " " id ....) then the line doesn't appear under the header for this variable. I've tried different solutions with RULES = GROUPS but never been able to reproduce what I want.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

 

Pierre

How about this :

 


ods tagsets.rtf file='/folders/myfolders/x.rtf';
ods escapechar='~';
title1 'xxx';
title2 "~R'\brdrb\brdrs\brdrw15 '  ";
proc print data=sashelp.class  ;run;
ods tagsets.rtf close;

Hi:

  Since you specifically mentioned a DEFINE statement, that indicates that you want a COLUMN header to be underlined using PROC REPORT, not a SAS TITLE statement. The RTF control string method will work, but there is a somewhat simpler way to underline column headers. You can accomplish either DEFINE or TITLE underlining using the TEXTDECORATION style attribute, as shown here:

ods tagsets.rtf file='c:\temp\underline_define.rtf';
ods escapechar='^';
title1 '^{style[textdecoration=underline]xxx yyy zzz}';
proc report data=sashelp.class  ;
  column name age sex height weight;
  define name / 'The Name'
     style(header)={textdecoration=underline width=1.5in};
  define age / 'The Age'
     style(header)={textdecoration=underline width=1.5in};
run;
ods tagsets.rtf close;

 

and these are the results:

text_decoration_rtf.png

 

and if you change the style to JOURNAL, then this is what you get:

text_decoration_rtf_j.png
