proc odstext and liststyleimage in list statement

[xxformat_com]

Hi,

Also it is possible to use the liststyletype in the list statement when working with proc odstext, it doesn't seem to work with

liststyleimage. Is it an expected feature?

Here is an example of image found on the internet for testing purpose only :

The following code works (liststyleimage in item statement):

ods pdf file="&xxtest./reporting/test.pdf";

proc odstext;
   list;
      item 'Bullet Point 1' / style=[liststyleimage="&xxtest./images/arrow.jpeg"];
      item 'Bullet Point 2' / style=[liststyleimage="&xxtest./images/arrow.jpeg"];
      item 'Bullet Point 3' / style=[liststyleimage="&xxtest./images/arrow.jpeg"];
   end;
run;

ods pdf close;

But the following doesn't work (liststyleimage in the list statement). I have to abort the program.

ods pdf file="&xxtest./reporting/test.pdf";

proc odstext;
   list / style=[liststyleimage="&xxtest./images/arrow.jpeg"];
      item 'Bullet Point 1';
      item 'Bullet Point 2';
      item 'Bullet Point 3';
   end;
run;

ods pdf close;

Kind Regards,

Can you run a test to see if it works if you replace the [] with {}?

So

style=[liststyleimage="&xxtest./images/arrow.jpeg"]

becomes

style={liststyleimage="&xxtest./images/arrow.jpeg"}

.

Best regards, Jos

Here is the output after stopping the code using curly braces. The result was the same with square braces.
