Hi there,

 

Wondering if someone can help me with how to underline 'including and 'excluding' word in col1 col2 from the proc report code below.

 

 

Proc Report Data=abc nowd headline split='!';

  column col1 col2 col3 ;

 

 

  define col1 / '  ' flow width=20;

  define col2 / 'Total  including A' display flow width=25;

  define col3/ 'Total excluding A' display flow width=25;

 

Thanks,

 

Sam

If you output to HTML, having start and end tags guarantees that inner tags are conserved.

proc Report Data=SASHELP.CLASS nowd headline split='!';
  column AGE SEX ;
  define AGE / '<a>Total <u>including</u> A</a>' ;
  define SEX / group;
run;
Total including A Sex
119 F
134 M

Thanks for the reply!

It's not working as the output file required is PDF & RTF.

Would it be anyway to display the underline for the rtf and pdf outputs, please?

 

Many thanks,

Sam

Following code is creating a line for the RTF output, but not in PDF output.

Wondering if any trick to do so in PDF or lst file.

 

ods rtf file=…….;

ods escapechar=’^’;

proc report data=SASHELP.CLASS nowd headline split='!';

 column AGE SEX;

  define AGE / “Total ^ul including ^ul0 A';

  define SEX / group;

run;

ods rtf close;

You may be looking for text decoration

 

"^{style [textdecoration=underline]your text }

 

you will have to turn the decoration off after your value.
