I want the output text like below.

"This is an example this is an example this is an example this is an example  this is an example this is an

         example this is an example this is an example this is an example 

This is an example this is an example this is an example this is an example  this is an example this is an

         example this is an example this is an example this is an example "

This is opposite to the "indent" like

proc report data=try;

    column x;

    define x / style={indent=0.3in};

run;

unfortunately, I forgot the keyword. Someone can help me out? Thanks a lot.

data a;
length x $1000;
do i=1 to 5;
 x=repeat("This is an example ", 6);
 x=catx(' ',x,'~n~_~_~_~_~_~_~_',repeat("This is an example ", 14));
output;
end;
run;

ods escapechar='~';
ods rtf file="c:\temp\temp.rtf" ;
proc report data=a nowd missing;
define x/style(column)={asis=on};
run;
ods rtf close;

 

 

Or try this one :

 

 

 

data a;
length x $1000;
do i=1 to 5;
 x=repeat("This is an example ", 8);
 x=catx(' ',x,'~n~{unicode 09}',repeat("This is an example ", 12));
output;
end;
run;

ods escapechar='~';
ods rtf file="c:\temp\temp.rtf" ;
proc report data=a nowd missing;
run;
ods rtf close;

Can you post your sample data ?

For example below

data a;
length x $1000;
do i=1 to 5;
x=repeat("This is an example ", 20);
output;
end;
run;
ods rtf file=".... ....\try1.rtf";
proc report data=a;
column x;
define x/style={indent=0.3in};
run;
ods rtf close;

 

The above code produced below figure 1, but I want figure 2. Currently I combined "^R'\li1000\fi-1000'" with data to get figure 2, which makes the data hard to read. I remember SAS has a simple way as I did with "indent" above . Thanks
