Dear All, Aside from simulating data in a data step and then use a procedure such as PLOT, GPLOT, SGPLOT, etc. is there any way to graph a mathematical function (say y = x**2) by simply inputting the function and requesting a graph?   For me, the go-to method was the above, i.e. simulate the data first and then plot it, but I thought there might be some function out there (or something in either EG or IML Studio perhaps) that would do the trick.   Thank you for your input  ...

Dear All, I have a macro that checks many conditions such as these ones: %IF %STR(&LEADER) NE %STR() %THEN %DO; ... %IF %SYSFUNC(FILEEXIST(&PATH.\&SUPERVISOR.\&LEADER.)) %THEN %DO; In the above, two of the arguments (SUPERVISOR and LEADER) can sometimes have hypens because they are names. When this happens, it yields the following error: ERROR: A character operand was found in the %EVAL function or %IF condition where a numeric        operand is required. The condition was: &LEADER NE Is there any way around this or should I instruct users to remove hyphens when they call the macro? Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions, Daniel ...

Hello, When running the following program in the past (under SAS 9.1.3), the two ODS TEXT statements would create a table in the RTF document with two rows and the width of the table would be "full page width" (minus the left and right margins defined in the style. However, when I run the program in SAS 9.3, I notice that I still get a two-row table but the width is determined by the largest text content of each cell. This means that the logo that I put in the first row gets "cut" depending on the width of the second row. Here is sample code to reproduce the issue: ODS ESCAPECHAR="^"; ODS RTF STYLE=JOURNAL BODYTITLE FILE="TEST.RTF"; ODS RTF STARTPAGE=NEVER; ODS RTF TEXT="^S={preimage='C:\SAS_TPTK_logo.jpg'} "; ODS RTF TEXT="Second line"; PROC PRINT DATA=SASHELP.CLASS; RUN; ODS RTF CLOSE; I've also attached two image files showing the previous and current behaviors. Is there any way I can specify the width of the table that gets created by the ODS RTF TEXT statement? Thank you, Daniel ... View more

Good day! I run into a problem when trying to use the SPLIT option in PROC REPORT for a column header that contains a UNICODE character and that I would like to left-align. Specifically, if there is no UNICODE character in the column header where the split character is used, everything works as planned but when there is a UNICODE character, the second line is not left-aligned. Here is an example of code that would produce what I mention: ODS PDF STYLE=JOURNAL; PROC REPORT DATA=SASHELP.CLASS NOWD SPLIT="~";      COLUMN NAME SEX AGE;      DEFINE NAME / DISPLAY;      DEFINE SEX /DISPLAY;      DEFINE AGE/DISPLAY LEFT STYLE(HEADER)=[JUST=LEFT] STYLE(COLUMN)=[CELLWIDTH=1.8 IN]      "Difference (^{UNICODE 0394}) adjusted~geometric mean percent change (95% CI)"; RUN; ODS PDF CLOSE; If I replace the UNICODE character with something else, the problem disappears: ODS PDF STYLE=JOURNAL; PROC REPORT DATA=SASHELP.CLASS NOWD SPLIT="~";      COLUMN NAME SEX AGE;      DEFINE NAME / DISPLAY;      DEFINE SEX /DISPLAY;      DEFINE AGE/DISPLAY LEFT STYLE(HEADER)=[JUST=LEFT] STYLE(COLUMN)=[CELLWIDTH=1.8 IN]      "Difference (delta) adjusted~geometric mean percent change (95% CI)"; RUN; ODS PDF CLOSE; It looks like the first line of the column header is left-aligned but the other line(s) is/are centered (you can play with the CELLWIDTH option to observe this). Is there a way to work around this? This does not appear to be a problem with the RTF destination. Thank you, Daniel ... View more

Good afternoon, When I try the following code, I get two ODS output files. The PDF one will have the footer line of the table repeated on each page, while the RTF one will not: ODS RTF STYLE=DEFAULT FILE="TEST.RTF"; ODS PDF STYLE=DEFAULT FILE="TEST.PDF" UNIFORM; PROC REPORT DATA=SASHELP.DEMOGRAPHICS NOWD;      COLUMNS REGION NAME POP;      DEFINE REGION / GROUP;      COMPUTE BEFORE _PAGE_;         LINE "This is my table title";      ENDCOMP;      COMPUTE AFTER _PAGE_;         LINE "This is my table footer";      ENDCOMP; RUN; ODS _ALL_ CLOSE; I know that the ODS PDF destination has an extra "UNIFORM" that does lead to the desired result (without it, the presence of the footer is unpredictable it seems! In this case, the footer appears on pages 5, 6 and 7 - out of 7 - of the PDF document if I remove the UNIFORM option). Is there any explanation for this behavior and is there any way to obtain the same result in the RTF file as in the PDF file? Sincerely, Daniel ... View more
