Hello,

 

Using ^{super 1} embedded in variables, titles and column headers produces a superscript number that is very small.  The below post describes a method for increasing the superscript size in titles.  It works in footnotes and column labels, as well. 

 

title1 "^{style[just=c font_size=14pt font_face=Courier]Heading}^{style [just=c font_size=12pt font_face=Courier]^{super a}}";

Unfortunately, I could not find a way to change the font size if the superscript code is embedded in a variable.  Can this be done?

 

many thanks!

Solution found...or so it seems

 

To change font size of superscript embedded in a variable

 

data rpt;

     var2 = strip(var1)||"^S={fontsize=10pt}^{super 1}";

run ;

 

To change font size of superscript in heading label and footnote in the proc report

 

proc report data=rpt ;

     column var2 ;

     define var2 / display style(column)=[just=center width=10%]
                           style(header)=[just=center]
                           "Text^{style [fontsize=10pt]^{super 1}}" ;

 

footnote j=l  "^{style [fontsize=10pt ]^{super 1}}Footnote text..." ;

run ;

 

The table body font size is 8pt.  Increasing the superscript to 10pt slightly increases the line spacing b/t footnotes.
