Greetings All!  I am creating an executive report and need the appearance to follow a specific scheme as it is the first page of a report.  The desired output has the appearance below (notice the gray is centered on the page, but the test is justified left):      Currently I have this, which has the gray box left justified:    The code at the moment is this, and the third p statement runs on but is displayed in the above output:    I have tried lots of different options including textalign, padding, etc.  I am not able to get the desired output.  Any suggestions? ...

Hi Everyone,   I am creating an rtf document and am trying to write out a mathematical expression using ods rtf text.  I'm trying to generate x-bar, an X with a bar above it.  I figured this could be easily acheived using ODS RTF TEXT and a textdecoration = overline styling option.  When I run this as a RTF, I do not get the overline; however, the PDF does show the overline.  I use many styling options and have not had what appears to be compatibility issues.  Seems like textdecoration works with ODS PDF, but not ODS RTF.  Am I correct?  Is there a workaround for me to create an X-bar (note: I've already tried unicode but was not able to find an x-bar in the character map)?   Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.   Best, Chris     /*RTF creation*/ ODS ESCAPECHAR = '~'; ODS RTF FILE = "Temp.RTF"; ODS RTF TEXT="~{style [just=r textdecoration=overline color=red]Here is some random overlined text.}"; ODS RTF CLOSE; /*PDF creation*/ ODS ESCAPECHAR = '~'; ODS PDF FILE = "Temp.PDF" ; ODS PDF TEXT="~{style [just=r textdecoration=overline color=red]Here is some random overlined text.}"; ODS PDF CLOSE;     ...

Hi Everyone,   I'm trying to get both a subscript and a superscript onto a Unicode variable sigma.  The sigma is irrelevant in this question, but I am curious how to add both a subscript and a superscript to the same character.   ods escapechar = '^'; p^{sub e(w)}   <-this creates my p subscript e(w) p^{super 2}   <-this creates my p superscript 2 (or square)   How can I have these both placed on the same variable?  I've tried combining them as follows: p^{sub e(w)}^{super 2}    <- I've tried this and many variations, but have not been successful in getting a result that looks correct. There are always gaps or spacing issues.   I'm thinking/hoping there is a command that handles this, but I have not been able to come across it yet.  Any ideas/thoughts/solutions are greatly appreciated.   Thanks, Chris     ...

Hi Everyone,   I am in the process of report automation,specifically I'm writing an appendix to a journal article using Base SAS 9.4.  I have written the code to automate the journal text, tables,page numbering, etc.  I now need to write the appendix, which include the formulas used to calculate various items throughout the journal.   Is there a way for me to write mathematical expressions to be output into an ods rtf file.  I've inserted subscripts using ~unicode(...), but is there something I can do to output something along the lines of the attached file.  Also, the attached formula is one that I will ultimately need,  I really will be needing to do summations, square roots, squared number, etc.   Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank You!   ... View more
