Proc report borderleftwidth compute

[shweta_d_singh]

Hi Everyone,

I have below data and I have used Proc report to create a RTF output I am trying to insert vertical border lines between columns but because I am using "compute before" statement the vertical lines get cut, I am expecting a straight line from up till down . Could anyone please help me with this ? (I have tried to put a blank row in data and then pass it in proc report that works but I am looking for more simple solution.)

My data:

code:

Proc report data= class Headline Headskip NOWD split='|' missing;

column Name Sex Age Height Weight;

define name / Order "Name" style(header)=Header{just=left asis=on borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1}
style(column)={just=left cellwidth=1.3in borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1 };
define sex / "Sex" flow style(header)=Header{ just=center} style(column)={cellwidth=0.6in just=center borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1};
define age / "Age" style(header)=Header{just=center} style(column)={cellwidth=0.6in just=center borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1} ;
define height / "Height" flow style(header)=Header{just=center} style(column)={cellwidth=0.6in just=center borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1};
define weight / "Weight" flow style(header)=Header{just=center} style(column)={cellwidth=0.6in just=center borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1};

compute before name;
line " ";
endcomp;

run;

Output:

Expected Output:

Hi @shweta_d_singh 

Instead of computing a line before each record, I would just add a BREAK BEFORE statement and a "white color" for the font :

Proc report data= sashelp.class Headline Headskip NOWD split='|' missing;
column Name Sex Age Height Weight;
define name / Order "Name" style(header)=Header{just=left asis=on borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1}
style(column)={just=left cellwidth=1.3in borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1 };

define sex / "Sex" flow style(header)=Header{ just=center} style(column)={cellwidth=0.6in just=center borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1};
define age / "Age" style(header)=Header{just=center} style(column)={cellwidth=0.6in just=center borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1} ;
define height / "Height" flow style(header)=Header{just=center} style(column)={cellwidth=0.6in just=center borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1};
define weight / "Weight" flow style(header)=Header{just=center} style(column)={cellwidth=0.6in just=center borderleftcolor=black borderleftwidth=1};

break before name / summarize style={color=white};

run;
