Hi ,

 

I am trying to print the negative numbers in RED text and send the contents to my email id

 

I am able to print numbers in the body of the email using proc report but loosing the red color logic.

 

Can someone please share the style or format i need to apply to get the negative numbers in red color on the email body

 

I have a bunch of percentages/dollar values to keep it simple for the users i have created a simple version of code.

 

data test;
input @1 percent;
datalines;
10.12
-10.30
20.3
-40.30
;
run;
title "";
FILENAME NOTE EMAIL
TO=("user@gmail.com")
SUBJECT ="DAILY"
type="text/html"

;
ods html body=note;

PROC REPORT DATA=TEST;
COL percent;
DEFINE percent / display ;
RUN;

QUIT;

ODS HTML CLOSE;

 

Thanks

Praveen
