ODS tries not to generate output containing no output objects (tables, graphs, text) in the body of the document. I would expect the SQL job to produce no HTML output. A slight modification should work. Instead of a TITLE statement, use an ODS HTML TEXT= statement. -- David Kelley, SAS Message was edited by: David@SAS at Mar 31, 2006 10:50 AM ... View more

The performance expert in R&D says: The only SAS server we have tested in an HA environment is the Metadata Server. If those are the two choices, the active/passive is what I would say we are. This is done with 3rd party HA tools from the various UNIX operating systems. Please note that we can get the OMR server's downtime to being very slight, but it will never be 0. Also, I believe that any transactions/updates/modifications that happen while the OMR is down are not captured by any tool. These will have to be redone. Here is a paper from Sun talking about HA for OMR server. http://www.sas.com/partners/directory/sun/sas_metadata.pdf -- David Kelley, SAS ... View more

Although it doesn't appear to be documented in the Help, the forum software supports preformatted text. All you have to do is enclose the text in bracketed pre and /pre tags. Here's what I think Dan wished to express: [pre] ---------------------------- | utilgrp | util1 | cmppm | | | util2 | | ---------------------------- [/pre] -- David Kelley, SAS ... View more

There's a Technical Support FAQ that shows how to do what you want for a single directory: http://support.sas.com/faq/044/FAQ04451.html I don't know how to easily extend this to work recursively. Users, help me out here! -- David Kelley, SAS ... View more

Did you check the ODS PRINTER FAQ at Technical Support, http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/topics/templateFAQ/Template.html There are a couple of items in the FAQ that address your question, at least partially. -- David Kelley, SAS Message was edited by: David@SAS at Mar 20, 2006 7:38 PM Message was edited by: David@SAS at Mar 20, 2006 7:39 PM ...

Jack, The data step object integrates the DATA step with ODS' document model, which includes a table model. ODS' table model is based on the HTML table model, which is a table-row-cell model. ODS' table model implementation doesn't support the kind of random access you're describing. Tables and spreadsheets are fundamentally different things. Thanks for experimenting with the data step object. -- David Kelley, SAS ... View more
