Hi:

  There IS an ODS destination for LaTeX. Here's a sample invocation -- since I don't have a LaTeX viewer, I can create it, but I can't post a screen shot of what it looks like.

The code:

ods tagsets.latex file='c:\temp\test_latex.txt';

proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;

ods tagsets.latex close;

Hope this helps,

Cynthia

I stand corrected and will remove my reply to avoid confusion! 🙂

Thanks! It is an esoteric destination, but I understand that if you are using LaTeX the ODS destination does generate the LaTeX code for representing SAS tables and can include graphs.

Note that a LaTex file is just a text file. So you can can use any text editor to look at the file to see if it contains valid Tex code that used the LaTex package.

But you will need something to render the file to see whether it really works, especially if you ability to interpret Tex (or LaTex) code is as bad as mine.

Yes! I understand there are apps you can use to render the file that are invoked with command line commands, but I don't have any of those and I usually mess up command lines 3 times before I get them right.
