Hello everyone,
We are generating a proc report and we need to make the table margins thicker,
as shown in the following image.

In PROC REPORT, you can specify the border width of whatever cells you want.


Depending on what you want, you can use something like the borderbottomwidth=3 and bordertopwidth=3 and borderleftwidth=3 and borderrightwidth=3 options, picking bigger numbers to make the thickness bigger.

 

So, partial PROC REPORT code, I have a variable named TOTAL_BACKEND and if the value is greater than 7000, I can cause the widths of the entire row  to be thicker (or I can select to increase the widths of just the cell borders).

 

compute total_backend;
    if total_backend>=7000 then call define(_row_,'style','style={bordertopwidth=3 borderbottomwidth=3}');
endcompute;

I'm not sure I understand. What margins do you mean? Do you mean you need to make the lines in certain places thicker?

Yes.

make the lines that look black thicker than the rest.
