Example 1: Listing Definitions in a Template Store

PROC TEMPLATE features:

PATH statement
LIST statement
- starting-path option
- SORT = option

Program Description

This example lists the items for the Base.Univariate directory in the item store SASHELP.TMPLMST.

Program

Set the SAS system options. The OPTIONS statement controls several aspects of the Listing output. None of these options affects the HTML output.

 options nodate pageno=1 pagesize=60 linesize=72;

Specify which locations to search for definitions that were created by PROC TEMPLATE. The PATH statement specifies to search for definitions that were created by PROC TEMPLATE in the SASHELP.TMPLMST item store.

 proc template;  path sashelp.tmplmst;

List in descending order the definitions that are stored within a specified level of the template store. The LIST statement lists the definitions in one or more template stores. The starting path base.univariate specifies the level within the template store where PROC TEMPLATE is to start listing the definitions. The SORT= option sorts the list of definitions. The definitions are sorted in descending order.

 list base.univariate / sort=path descending;  run;

Example 2: Viewing the Source of a Definition

PROC TEMPLATE features:

PATH statement
SOURCE statement

Program Description

This example displays the source code for the tagset definition Xhtml that SAS provides.

Program

 proc template;  path sashelp.tmplmst;

Write the source code of the specified definition. The SOURCE statement writes the source code for the tagset Xhtml that SAS provides. The source code is written to the SAS log.

 source Tagsets.Xhtml;  run;

 NOTE: Path 'Tagsets.Xhtml' is in: SASHEP.TMPLMST. define tagset Tagsets.Xhtml;    notes "XHTML 1.0";    define event doc;       start:          set $empty_tag_suffix" /";          set $doctype                "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD XHML 1.0 Transition al//EN"">";          set $framedoctype                "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD XHML 1.0 Frameset// EN"">";          put $doctype NL;          put "<html>" NL;       finish:          put "</html>" NL;    end;    split = "<br/>";    parent = tagsets.html4 end; 116 run; NOTE: PROCEDURE TEMPLATE used (Total process time):       real time           0.10 seconds       cpu time            0.11 seconds
