Report display question

[anu]

Hi everyone,

Can Proc Report  display data in the below format? or any other procedure?

Column1	123	Column2	Yes	Column3	N/A
Column4	Prod	Column5	xxxx	Column6	yyyy
Column7	Description

I am interested in creating individual files (rtf or pdf) by Column1.

Thanks,

Anu.

What do you mean:

Do you want each observation in your data set to printed in separate file, where they are printed in three lines and each variables printed beside the column name as in the example you provided above.

Yes, correct. I need the data printed in 3 rows as shown below in the same output file. Can this be done using Proc Report?

Column1	123	Column2	Yes	Column3	N/A
Column4	Prod	Column5	xxxx	Column6	yyyy
Column7	Description

Show a few lines from the input data set as an example so we have an idea if it is possible.

Anu: If no one comes up with a better solution, here is a fairly easy one.

First, create and run a datastep is to assign all desired variable headers.  Then use proc forms to create a pdf containing separate pages for each of your records:

data forpdf;

  retain

    _name 'Name:'

    _sex 'Gender:'

    _age 'Age:'

    _height 'Height'

    _weight 'Weight:'

   ;

  set sashelp.class;

run;

ods pdf file='c:\temp\class_form.pdf' style=printer notoc;

proc forms data=forpdf align=0;

  by name;

  line 1 _name name _sex sex _age age /pack;

  line 2 _height height _weight weight/pack;

run;

ods _all_ close;

Finally. you can use a free online pdf splitter to split the file:
