I'm using 9.4 and the output is pdf. In the first example I want the "Outcomes" to span and center over the first two columns. My code is
PROC REPORT DATA =NEW_BORN_METRICS nowd spanrows
style(report)=[rules=all]
style(header)=[rules=all cellheight=.6in font_size=1 background=lightgrey]
style(column)=[font_size=1];
/* COLUMN ('Outcomes' (Question Response total_cases Total_Per)) ;*/
/* COLUMN ('Outcomes' (Question Response) (total_cases Total_Per)) ;*/
COLUMN ('Outcomes' (Question Response)) total_cases Total_Per ;
/* COLUMN Question Response total_cases Total_Per;*/
DEFINE Question/ GROUP '' center;
DEFINE Response/ '';
DEFINE total_cases/ format=6. "Total Cases" center;
DEFINE Total_Per/ format=percent8.1 "% of Total" center;
RUN;
Outcomes | Total Cases | % of Total | |
---|---|---|---|
# of Newborns per Admission | Single birth | 209 | 99.1% |
Twins | 2 | 0.9% | |
Gestational Age at Delivery | <=28 weeks | 2 | 1.0% |
>=29 weeks and <=36 weeks | 7 | 3.3% | |
>=37 weeks | 201 | 95.7% | |
NICU Stay? | No | 197 | 92.9% |
Yes | 15 | 7.1% | |
Newborn Birth Weight | LBW 1500-2499 Gm (3.31 lbs-5.5 lbs) | 5 | 2.4% |
NBW >= 2500 Gm | 204 | 97.1% | |
VLBW 500-1499 Gm (1.1 lbs-3.3 lbs) | 1 | 0.5% |
Besides the example above the closest I could get was this but now I have an extra row over "Total Cases" and "% of Total"
Outcomes | |||
---|---|---|---|
Total Cases | % of Total | ||
# of Newborns per Admission | Single birth | 209 | 99.1% |
Twins | 2 | 0.9% | |
Gestational Age at Delivery | <=28 weeks | 2 | 1.0% |
>=29 weeks and <=36 weeks | 7 | 3.3% | |
>=37 weeks | 201 | 95.7% | |
NICU Stay? | No | 197 | 92.9% |
Yes | 15 | 7.1% | |
Newborn Birth Weight | LBW 1500-2499 Gm (3.31 lbs-5.5 lbs) | 5 | 2.4% |
NBW >= 2500 Gm | 204 | 97.1% | |
VLBW 500-1499 Gm (1.1 lbs-3.3 lbs) | 1 | 0.5% |
Hi:
Consider the results of the following code. I think that report #2 is closer to what you want. BTW, having a relative font_size of 1 forces PDF to make a conversion from relative sizes to point sizes. You would be better off and make less work for PDF if you just specified the font in PTS.

#2 is the one I want. Thanks so much for the quick response and the tip about font_size.
