Proc Report data=FirstNLastN split=' / '

.

.

define name / display  "First Name  /  Last Name";

.

.

run;

 

How do I get the label to indent on the second line after the splitting /?  As you can see there are multiple lines in this label and the second line is indented.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First Name          |

     Last Name     |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Sarah-R 

Please try this:

ods escapechar="#";
proc report data=firstNlastN split="/";
	define name / display  "First Name  / #{nbspace 6}Last Name";
run;

-> you can specify a different of number of spaces in the brakets: #{nbspace 6}

Best,
