Hello fabulous SAS experts,

I have a 11 line footer, which is a problem because I cannot use footnote statement. So I tried to use the compute block and line statement in proc report procedure as follows:

computer after _page_;

line "Learning Outcomes: are the knowledge, skills, and values we expect students to achieve upon graduation.";

endcomp;

What should I do if I want to bold "Learning Outcomes" and italicize "knowledge", "skills", and "values" in the output?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Okay, I got it after some struggle.

ods escapechar='~';

proc report ...;

compute after _page_;

line@1 "~{style [font_weight=bold] SLO:} ~{style [fontstyle=italic] SLO} stands for student learning outcomes.";

endcomp;

This produces a line with both bold and italics as in:

SLO: SLO stands for student learning outcomes.

Thanks everyone for helping.

Hi:

  You can bold the whole line using a simple STYLE= override, but to only italicize certain words within a text string, you will need to use ODS ESCAPECHAR and in-line formatting. There have been many previous postings on the topic in the forum. I'm sure you can find them if you search.
