A little help please --- The environ is ODS PDF, PROC REPORT, WIN10, SAS 9.4
I successfully define and use a format for NE and SE arrows that visually describe a trend (up or down).
PROC FORMAT;
value $arrow
'NE' = '^{unicode 2197}'
'SE' = '^{unicode 2198}'
other = ' ' ;
I successfully color code the arrows conditionally with a call define.
if orig_var in('pct_OCCUP' 'pct_MCAID_occ' )
then call define(_col_,"style","style={color=darkgreen font_weight=EXTRA_BOLD}");
The question is - how can I enlarge or make bolder the Unicode character? I have found some other arrows in the Unicode library, but they do not display as expected. The FONT_WEIGHT= or FONT_SIZE= attribute does not have any effect. I simply need it to be larger / more visible in the printed tabular report.
Thoughts?

did you try fontsize=xxpt instead of font_size=xxpt
yes, FONTSIZE= does enlarge the font, but it increases the default cell height which which is not desired. thanks for the thought. -craig
Jag -- this does not seem to help … if the cell height does not have room for the FONTSIZE value then the height seems to override the fontsize. -craig
Make page size be smaller ?
options papersize=(10cm 10cm);
Not sure what changing the paper size would accomplish besides the obvious. I believe you are saying that all of the exhibits will shrink but the Unicode character will stay the same size. thanks for the thought. -craig
