Hi: There are 3 ways to modify the BYLINE. I've listed them from easiest to hardest (in my opinion). 1) Turn off the normal BYLINE and use #BYVAL or #BYVAR in the TITLE statement 2) Use ODS ESCAPECHAR in the LABEL for the BY variable 3) Change the style template that you are using PROC REPORT is only one of the procedures that supports BY group processing. So, there's no STYLE= override available for the BY statement. For example, it would be inappropriate to use any STYLE overrides with PROC SORT. So, there's not a direct STYLE= override method. The code below illustrates all 3 methods. cynthia proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class; by age sex name; where age in (12, 13); run; ** Method1; ods pdf file='c:\temp\method1.pdf'; options nobyline; proc report data=class nowd; title '1) Use #BYVAL'; title2 f='Courier New' h=14pt c=purple bold '#byvar1: #byval1'; by age; columns sex name height weight; run; options byline; ods pdf close; ** Method2; ods escapechar='^'; ods pdf file='c:\temp\method2.pdf'; proc report data=class nowd; title '2) Use ODS ESCAPECHAR'; by age; columns sex name height weight; label age = '^S={font_face="Courier New" fontsize=14pt color=purple}Age'; run; ods pdf close; ** Method3; ods path work.tmp(update) sasuser.template(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read); proc template; define style styles.method3; parent=styles.printer; class byline / font_face='Courier New' color=purple font_size=14pt font_weight=bold; end; run; ods pdf file='c:\temp\method3.pdf' style=styles.method3; proc report data=class nowd; title '3) Use Style Template'; by age; columns sex name height weight; run; ods pdf close;
