Hi,

 

I can't seem to get a SAS dataset working with an ODS HTML BODY=

 

Any idea why this doesn't work please but does on tabulates?

 

Thanks

BODY= argument is expecting a filename not a data set name. 


ODS HTML is the output destination. To output to the destination you use PROC REPORT/PRINT/TABULATE. 


ODS HTML statement controls the file properties.

 

ods html file='/folders/myfolders/demo.html' style=meadow;

proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;

ods html close;

This "I can't seem to get a SAS dataset working with an ODS HTML BODY=" does not make any sense.  You generate html output the same way you generate any output, with the use of an output procedure like proc print, report, tabulate etc.  A SAS dataset is not an output procedure, unless you put in output routines like put.
