0521, Are you satisfied now?
Going further i think you are falling into an ods rtf problem
[pre]
options noquotelenmax;
ods escapechar="^";
proc format;
proc format;
value $fmace
"lace" = 'Hold Event (Life-time, Mgh, Non-High-elective Cardiovascular Surgery for Aphgrb,Stroke,
^R/rtf "{\par} " Renal Failure,Ventilation for Less than 55 hours,Ga-Fk Complication
^R/rtf "{\par} " Requiring Surgery, New Onset out of Permanent Atrial Fibrillation,Sep,
^R/rtf "{\par} " Transfusion of 15 or More Unites of Blood)';
run;
proc format;
value $fmacc
"lace" = "Hold Event (Life-time, Mgh, Non-High-elective Cardiovascular "
"Surgery for Aphgrb,Stroke, ^n Renal Failure, "
"Ventilation for Less than 55 hours,Ga-Fk Complication"
" ^n Requiring Surgery, New Onset out of Permanent "
"Atrial Fibrillation,Sep,^n Transfusion"
"of 15 or More Unites of Blood)";
run;
data a;
v='lace';
run;
ods listing close;
ods rtf file="d:\test.rtf";
proc print;
format v $fmace.;
run;
ods rtf close;
ods listing;
[/pre]
the format $macc. is working well but not the $mace.!
Why ? i hope Cynthia will take a look at this 'ods question'.
I don't see why the ^R/rtf "{\par}" is appearing in the result!
Perhaps the use of {par} is inapplicable into a table cell?
