Looking for suggestions for a good book to use for a reference and learning Proc Report/Proc Tabluate and ODS. Preferrable looking for something that I can use to help new team members become familiar with these tools in SAs.
Thank you!
Your favorite search engine finds many such books.
For PROC REPORT I would search LexJansen.com with Cynthia Zender's and/or Art Carpenter name and read some of those papers.

Agree with all the suggestions. Since the question mentions ODS, wanted to add my ODS bible has been:
Speaking of which, @Cynthia_sas, when I was at SGF I saw the book on display and said to the pubs folks "I love this book, do you know if there is any hope of a second edition?" And they said "That's a great idea. You should ask the authors." So, any hope?
A couple of years ago, I took on a contract where I was going to have to format a report in excruciating detail, having had little experience doing this previously. I bought Art Carpenter's "Carpenter's Complete Guide to the SAS REPORT Procedure", and I thought it was absolutely wonderful. Hugely assisted me on my project.
