For my question you asked for the report produced with the code;

I need to produce a report like this: File attached

my report file that was created by my code

Iused code: The output doesnot look same. Please help

OPTIONS nodate nonumber;
ods listing close;
ods escapechar="^";
title1 justify=right 'page ^{pageof}';
title2 "Table 14.3.1.1 Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event Frequency by Treatment -";

I need to have my output like the file attached. I attached the the code and output in my previous post. Thank you

Without sample data we can't say what in your code isn't working.

Please be explicit in stating what the issue with your current output compared with your desired.

I am guessing that you are not getting something to line up as desired but is purely a guess.

And since you do not show any statistics or compute statements then I am again guessing that the values for your cnt_pct1 etc. variables are character. In which case the internal space use between the () is going to be incorrect because they are not built correctly .

Also since you are using JUST=LEFT everywhere then values like 7 ( 12%) or 0 (  0%) will not align with values above like 47 ( 81%) because you told them to shift to the left removing the leading spaces.

Additionally ODS RTF and style=Journal (almost ALL styles actually) will use proportional fonts. That means that each character takes up different amounts of space and blanks do not take up anywhere near as much space as most charcters. So alignment by guessing how many spaces to insert will be a nightmare, if at all possible. If you create a modified style that defaults to using a monospace font,

such as Courier New, that might be possible.

Since that example desired output looks a LOT like old line-printer output, you could also try directing the output to LISTING and saving the file as Plain text. Print with a monospace font or open in wordprocessor program and set to a monospace font.
