I have placed an itemstore in a shared folder and added the following to the autoexec.sas:   libname __Tmplt_         "L:\PROD\SHARE\SAS\TEMPLATES"         ;   ods path ( prepend )             __Tmplt_.templat          ( read )          ;    Attempting to add a new style resulted in:   ERROR: A lock is not available for TEMPLATE.TEMPLAT.ITEMSTOR. ERROR: Template 'Styles.Fda_arial' was unable to write to template store! This concerns me for several reasons; can the programmers uses the styles if other programmers have SAS open and why would their read access lock the file (which almost seems reasonable)?   An obvious solution would be to add the style definition to the autoexec.sas and write it to the (temporary) SASUSER.TEMPLAT(UPDATE).   I appreciate any suggestions or references.   Thank you,   Kevin   ...

How does one change the font family and size in output, particularly in ODS destinations like PDF.   Creating a new style definition using the TEMPLATE procedure with inheritance would seem to be appropriate, but even when I use the STYLE= option in the ODS PDF statement, it did not seem to help.   proc template ;   define style             styles.fda             ;     parent = styles.pearl ;      class fonts         / "TitleFont"           = ( Arial   , 10pt )           "TitleFont2"          = ( Arial   , 10pt )           "StrongFont"          = ( Arial   , 10pt , bold )           "EmphasisFont"        = ( Arial   ,  9pt , italic )           "FixedEmphasisFont"   = ( Courier ,  9pt )           "FixedStrongFont"     = ( Courier ,  9pt , bold )           "FixedHeadingFont"    = ( Courier ,  9pt , bold )           "BatchFixedFont"      = ( Courier ,  9pt )           "FixedFont"           = ( Courier ,  9pt )           "headingEmphasisFont" = ( Arial   ,  9pt , bold italic )           "headingFont"         = ( Arial   ,  9pt , bold )           "docFont"             = ( Arial   ,  9pt )           ;       style data from data          / font = fonts( "docFont" )            ;   end ; run ;  I was able to change the individual attributes for the various location in the PRINT procedure.  What can one do if one wants to direct the output of a procedure like GLM or MIXED to PDF, but have the font be a certain family and size.  Currently, it appears to be Albany.   Thank you,   Kevin     ...

I can obtain the Style elements and their attributes for the Style default Pearl:      class fonts /       'TitleFont2' = ("<MTsans-serif>, Albany",10pt,bold)       'TitleFont' = ("<MTsans-serif>, Albany",11pt,bold)       'StrongFont' = ("<MTsans-serif>, Albany",8pt,bold)       'EmphasisFont' = ("<MTsans-serif>, Albany",8pt,italic)       'FixedEmphasisFont' = ("<MTmonospace>, Courier",7pt)       'FixedStrongFont' = ("<MTmonospace>, Courier",7pt,bold)       'FixedHeadingFont' = ("<MTmonospace>, Courier",7pt,bold)       'BatchFixedFont' = ("SAS Monospace, <MTmonospace>, Courier",6pt)       'FixedFont' = ("<MTmonospace>, Courier",7pt)       'headingEmphasisFont' = ("<MTsans-serif>, Albany",9pt,bold italic)       'headingFont' = ("<MTsans-serif>, Albany",8pt,bold)       'docFont' = ("<MTsans-serif>, Albany",8pt);   SI demonstratres the appearance: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/odsug/67921/HTML/default/viewer.htm#odsugwhatsnew93.htm New Default Style for Printer Family Destinations   and the code to run it oneself is:   http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/odsgs/65323/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n1e7xvouhnvlc2n1oaxmwhphn8lu.htm (First TABULATE procedure).   The tip for the style-attribute-specification(s) for both the the CLASS and SYTLE statements states: Tip If style-attribute-name refers to a user-defined attribute, then enclose the name in quotation marks. If style-attribute-name refers to an attribute that is listed in “Style Attributes Tables ” on page 473, then do not enclose the name in quotation marks.   It would appear that the default Pearl uses user-defined attributes, based on the presence of the quotation marks and the absences of these names from the list in the documentation. How can I link the style attributes to the various procedures, like REPORT or PRINT, that might use them?  For instance, both TITLE1 and TITLE2 appear to be controlled by 'TitleFont', as does a FOOTNOTE1, if one experiments by adding this statement. It would be great to obtain the "raw" code for the procudure that "names" the attributes or a graphic with the elements being the attribute names above.  For instance, what if I what the first title (TITLE1) to be Bold, but not the other titles or footnotes?  I experimented and obtain 9 pt font as I desired, but what if another element not present in the experiment appears in my production code with a different size/family because I did not specify it?
