Hi,
I want to display text in region containers in a pdf-document. It workes fine with ods text = "..."; but since I wanted to have bullet point lists I switched to proc report. Now I face some new problems:
data text;
text =
"exercitation ullamco laboris ^{style [font_weight=bold]nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi} consequat. Quis aute " ||
"^{newline}^{newline}" ||
"This works: ^{thispage} von ^{lastpage}";
...
proc report
data = text nowindows noheader;
columns text;
define text / display style=[width=22cm];
1. The data (text) is provided through an ms excel file. I import this file to a data set. Next I write the text with proc report to the odf file. Is this the best way?
2. I can not use inline formatting in proc report with the ods escape character. Part of the text to display:
"exercitation ullamco laboris ^{style [font_weight=bold]nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi} consequat. Quis aute "
Is there a way to format single words within the text in proc report? In case not (or no practical way): What is a decent alternative?
Id be really happy to get any help because searching the internet did not help me 😞
Cheers, Tobi
How about this:
data text;
text ="exercitation ullamco laboris ~S={font_weight=bold}nisi ~S={}ut aliquid ex ea commodi";
run;
ods escapechar='~';
ods pdf file='x.pdf' style=sasweb;
proc report
data = text nowindows noheader;
columns text;
define text / display style=[width=22cm];
run;
ods pdf close;
