Hi:
You need to change the HREFTARGET style attribute, as described in this note:
http://support.sas.com/kb/23/437.html
The HREFTARGET attribute can be specified in a style template OR, in a TITLE statement, if you change the form of the link to be entirely specified with an ODS ESCAPECHAR style attribute override, you can do this:
[pre]
ods html file='c:\temp\uselink.html' style=sasweb;
ods escapechar='^';
title1 "^S={url='http://www.sas.com' hreftarget='_blank'} SAS";
proc print data=sashelp.class(obs=3);
run;
ods html close;
[/pre]
The only real difference is that instead of LINK= (which is a TITLE option), you are using URL= (which is a style attribute), but because you specify URL= in the ^S override, you can also specify HREFTARGET= within the same override.
ODS ESCAPECHAR must be set to the same character in the declaration statement as the character you use in the style override in the TITLE statement. For example, if you had:
[pre]
ODS ESCAPECHAR='~';
...then your TITLE statement would need to have the tilde (~) used:
title1 "~S={url='http://www.sas.com' hreftarget='_blank'} SAS";
[/pre]
This worked for me in SAS 9.2. For more information about ODS ESCAPECHAR capability, look in the ODS DOCUMENTATION or refer to these papers:
