if 9.2 is in play then you can use individual border control with both PDF and HTML. Here is the proc report updated to work in 9.2: proc report data=sashelp.class nowd style(column)={background=_undef_} style(report)={rules=none frame=void background=_undef_} style(header)={background=_undef_} style(summary)={bordertopwidth=1px bordertopstyle=solid bordertopcolor=black borderbottomwidth=1px borderbottomstyle=solid borderbottomcolor=black borderleftwidth=0 borderrightwidth=0}; define age / order; break after age / summarize ; run; ...

If you are using 9.2 you can use individual border control. You have two options... (1) use inline styles like this : ods pdf text = '^{style [bordertopcolor=black bordertopwidth=1pt ] text statement}'; or (2) use proc template : proc template; define style mystyle; parent=styles.Printer; style usertext from usertext / bordertopcolor=red bordertopwidth=0.5pt ; end; run; Scott ...

There was a problem in the first phase of 9.2 with sg procs and titles when run with PDF but that problem has been fixed for the second phase of 9.2. This next phase is due to ship out soon as far as I know. A simple test like this will work correctly in 9.2 phase 2. ods listing close; ods pdf file="temp.pdf"; Title "this is a title"; proc sgscatter data=sashelp.class; plot weight*height; run; ods pdf close; Thanks!

Matt, I can't think of a way to do this. We do all the measuring in ODS and then release a page of output when it's full. Using the pre-production inline function ^{lastpage} your output can have a nice "Page 1 of n" look but that logic is not accessible anywhere else. Currently lastpage does not work with images. Hopefully we can get all of this in a future release. Scott ... View more

Just want to make sure I fully understand the question. You want to link from a pdf file to a webpage for example? Links are used within PDF. Here is a short example of creating a mail link and and a http link. %let emails=test@test.com; %put %length(&emails); ods listing close; ods path sashelp.tmplmst(read); ods escapechar="^"; ods pdf file='pdflink.pdf'; title1 "^S={url='http://www.sas.com'}Title1: Click to go to SAS web site"; title2 "^S={url='mailto:&emails'}Title2: list of email addresses"; proc print data=sashelp.class; run; ods pdf close; Let me know if you need more assistance. You can send me some sample source code if you want at ODS@sas.com. And as always Technical Support is great for questions like this! Thanks! Scott ... View more
