Controlling the split of text fields in Proc Report

[PGStats]

Hi all, how can you control the position of text splits in Proc Report table cells? I tried using "/" and replacing unwanted splits with nonbreaking spaces but nothing does it. How can the equivalent of option SPLIT= be achieved for destination RTF? Thanks - PG

Hi PG,

I wish I were smart enough to provide an answer!:smileysilly::smileyblush:

I think the soft break is /line.

Lookup the topic inline formatting, and provide and small example we can fiddle with.

Your gonna need to start learning RTF codes.  :smileycry:

Thanks DN for your answer and Linlin for your sympathy. I just found the answer in Art Carpenter's book :

  Using escape character sequences such as ^1n for linefeed and ^_ for nonbreaking space does the trick.

PG, while those escape character sequences will certainly work, I'd like to point out that they've been superseded in new releases by the ODS inline functions documented here. For example (assuming the escape character is ~), the linefeed function is ~{newline} and nonbreaking space is ~{nbspace}.
