I am using the following sas statement for grouping my by variables, which is color type ;

 

TITLE bold    f= Calibri j=c h=12pt    "#byval(Type)";

i get result:

 

Type: yellow

 

Type: Orange

 

What i want is :

 

Type: yellow

 

Type: orange

 

so the values are not bold but the grouping variable is.

 

Any suggestions !

Hi:

  Using ODS ESCAPECHAR should be able to do that for you. You'll have to take the instruction for BOLD out of your title statement and move it inside a style override. Something like this (used color so you could see how each ODS ESCAPECHAR style override impacted the title string):

ods escapechar='^';
proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class;
where age in (12 13 14);
by age name;
run;

options nobyline;

ods html(id=ht) file='c:\temp\style_byline_info.html';
TITLE f=Calibri j=c h=12pt '^{style[fontweight=bold color=navy] #byvar(Age):} ^{style[fontweight=medium color=purple]#byval(Age)}';
proc print data=class;
by age;
var name age height weight sex;
run;
ods html(id=ht) close;

 

The code uses SASHELP.CLASS, so you should be able to run it.
