rtf not writing /

[Kc2]

Hello,

I am having an issue with RTF output.

In my proc report I have:

define c3 / display center style={just=c cellwidth=1.2 in} "Cohort 1:^XXX^n(1 mg/kg)";

the mg/kg comes out as mg

                                       kg

 ods escapechar="^"; so I don 't understadn why the character /  is not showing on the output.

thanks

KC

In PROC REPORT the slash character is the default character for the SPLIT= option that indicates where a new line should be placed in the column header value.

Solution: Specify a different split character.

Example:

ods html file='report.html';
ods rtf  file='report.rtf';

proc report data=sashelp.class split='*';
  define name / 'Name/Of/Person';
run;

ods _all_ close;
