ODS to multiple destinations

[kimdukes77]

I am creating a report that writes out to odf and csv simultaneously using proc report.

Is it possible to tailor the output, insomuch that I want to include some additional variables when writing to csv?

Thanks

And how are you doing this?  We cannot see your code.  If your writing "simulataneously" to multiple ods destinations, then by its definition, the output for each will be the same, as its the same code.

Yes I thought so much, just trying to avoid having to write out the code a second time for csv destination.  Thanks anyway.

Again it depends on your code which I can't see, but CSV files can be created very easily with:

proc export data=have outfile="...want.csv" dbms=csv;
run;

You don't need to create any code for that, just that step.

ODF (I assume you mean the format used by LIbreOffice) is different, I assume your creating an Excel type file, using tagsets.

Explore using ODS <destination> (ID=xx) ....;   -- where you declare each of your targets, each with a unique ID-value and follow that with your desired PROC (or otherwise) invocation.  And remember to follow-up with a suitable ODS....CLOSE; for each destination or _ALL_ otherwise.

I think the OP was asking to have different content of outputs from the same procedure, not how to output to different destinations.  Without some major macro code, I don't see how one proc report can create two different outputs - i.e. in this case a different set of variables on the two different outputs.  Hence there would need to be two different output steps.
