PDF PROC REPORT Line Wrapping and Insert Header Blank Line

[CurtisER]

Hello,

I'm converting a legacy code to match the layout in PROC REPORT.  The industry titles has embeded leading blanks to indicate indention as required.  I am able to preserve the leading space by using a style attribute ASIS=ON.  However, it does not preserve indention when wrapping around.  Here's an example:

Also, I have another issue is how do I insert a blank line in the COLUMNS statement.  I'm providing two images of current and legacy headings.

needs to look like the legacy headings:

Here is my code used for this:

proc report data = outpdf nowd ls = 200 list headskip headline style = monospace nocenter
            style(report) = {fontfamily='Cumberland AMT' font_size = 8pt}
            style(header) = {fontfamily='Cumberland AMT' font_size = 8pt}
            style(column) = {fontfamily='Cumberland AMT' font_size = 8pt};
   columns titlesp ('^S={TEXTDECORATION=underline}Not seasonally adjusted' sea_mov otmccnsa)
                   ('^S={TEXTDECORATION=underline}Seasonally adjusted' otmcc sig_chg signif)
           blank;
   define titlesp / "Industry" display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = L ASIS = ON CELLWIDTH = 2.8in};
   define sea_mov / "Normal/seasonal/movements" format = best5. display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 0.75in};
   define otmccnsa / "Estimated/over-the-month/change" format = best5. display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 1in};
   define otmcc / "Estimated/over-the-month/change" format = best5. display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 1in};
   define sig_chg / "Minimum/significant/change^{super *}" format = best5. display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 0.75in};
   define signif / "Pass/test of/significance" display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 0.8in};
   define blank / " " computed format=$1.;

   compute blank;
      blank = " ";
   endcomp;
run;

Your assistance is appreciated.

"However, it does not preserve indention when wrapping around. "
Make that column has wider length  .  style={cellwidth=10cm}

Or use escapechar:

"how do I insert a blank line in the COLUMNS statement"

columns titlesp ('^S={TEXTDECORATION=underline}  Not seasonally adjusted  ^S={}  ^n  ^_^_ '

Hi Curtis,

you can add a break line by adding a split sign to your sea_mov title for e.g. "/ /Normal/seasonal/movements"
I do get row indentation in the RTF when using your report code, check mine:

data outpdf;
   titlesp='    Construction';
   sea_mov=99.9;
   otmccnsa=99.9;
   otmcc=99.9;
   sig_chg=99.9;
   signif=99.9;
   output;
   titlesp='       Construction of buildings';
   sea_mov=88.8;
   otmccnsa=88.8;
   otmcc=88.8;
   sig_chg=88.8;
   signif=88.8;
   output;
run;

ods rtf file='C:\TEMP\outpdf.rtf';
ods escapechar='^';
proc report data = outpdf nowd ls = 200 list headskip headline style = monospace nocenter
            style(report) = {fontfamily='Cumberland AMT' font_size = 8pt}
            style(header) = {fontfamily='Cumberland AMT' font_size = 8pt}
            style(column) = {fontfamily='Cumberland AMT' font_size = 8pt};
   columns titlesp ('^S={TEXTDECORATION=underline}Not seasonally adjusted' sea_mov otmccnsa)
                   ('^S={TEXTDECORATION=underline}Seasonally adjusted' otmcc sig_chg signif)
           blank;
   define titlesp    / "Industry" display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = L ASIS = ON CELLWIDTH = 2.8in};
   define sea_mov    / "/ /Normal/seasonal/movements" format = best5. display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 0.75in};
   define otmccnsa   / "Estimated/over-the-month/change" format = best5. display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 1in};
   define otmcc      / "Estimated/over-the-month/change" format = best5. display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 1in};
   define sig_chg    / "Minimum/significant/change^{super *}" format = best5. display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 0.75in};
   define signif     / "Pass/test of/significance" display STYLE(COLUMN) = {JUST = C CELLWIDTH = 0.8in};
   define blank      / " " computed format=$1.;

   compute blank;
      blank = " ";
   endcomp;
run;
ods rtf close;
