SASEDOC Engine

The new SASEDOC libname engine enables you to associate a SAS libref (library reference) with one or more output objects that are stored in an ODS document as a SAS data set.

ODS Statements

The following ODS statements are new:

ODS CHTML

• produces compact, minimal HTML output with no style information.

ODS CSVALL

• produces output that contains columns of data values that are separated by commas. ODS CSVALL produces tabular output with titles, notes, and bylines.

ODS DECIMAL_ALIGN'ODS DECIMAL_ALIGN Statement' on page 85

• aligns values by the decimal point in numeric columns when no justification is specified.

ODS DOCBOOK

• produces XML output that conforms to the DocBook DTD by OASIS.

ODS DOCUMENT

• produces a hierarchy of output objects that enables you to create multiple ODS output formats without rerunning a PROC or DATA step.

ODS GRAPHICS'ODS GRAPHICS Statement (Experimental)' on page 92 (Experimental)

• enables ODS automatic graphic capabilities.

ODS HTMLCSS

• produces HTML output with cascading stylesheets that is similar to ODS HTML output.

ODS IMODE

• produces HTML output as a column of output that is separated by lines.

ODS MARKUP

• produces SAS output that is formatted using one of many different markup languages.

ODS PCL

• produces printable output for PCL (HP LaserJet) files.

ODS PDF

• produces PDF output.

ODS PHTML

• produces basic HTML output that uses twelve style elements and no class attributes.

ODS PS

• produces PostScript (PS) output.

ODS USEGOPT'ODS USEGOPT Statement' on page 202

• enables the use of graphics option settings for graphic output.

ODS WML

• produces a Wireless Markup Language (WML) DTD with a simple list of URLs for a table of contents.

• The ODS PRINTER statement now supports the following options:

  • BACKGROUND= on page 161

    • specifies whether background colors are printed in text.

  • BOOKMARKLIST= on page 162

    • specifies whether to generate and display the list of bookmarks for a PDF file.

  • BOOKMARKGEN= on page 162

    • controls the generation of bookmarks in a PDF file.

  • COLUMNS=

    • specifies the number of columns to create on each page of output.

  • TEXT=

    • inserts text into your output.

• The ODS RTF statement now supports the following options:

  • COLUMNS=

    • specifies the number of columns to create on each page of output.

  • TEXT=

    • inserts text into your output.

• The ODS MARKUP statement now supports the following TAGSETS:

  • GRAPH

    • produces markup for graphical output produced by SAS/GRAPH.

  • SASFMT

    • produces user -defined format markup tags for the XML engine.

  • SASXMISS

    • produces alternate missing-value markup tags for the XML engine.

  • SASXMNSP

    • produces alternate 'no space in text' value markup for the XML engine.

  • STATGRAPH

    • produces markup for statistical graphs that are generated by SAS procedures.

ODS Procedures

• DOCUMENT procedure

  • The new DOCUMENT procedure enables you to do the following:

    • produce multiple reports with a single run of a procedure or data query.

    • modify and customize your output file hierarchy by rearranging, duplicating, or removing specific tables.

    • modify and customize your output file hierarchy by rearranging, duplicating, or removing the entire output of procedures and data queries.

    • generate output for one or more ODS destinations, using the newly transformed output hierarchy.

    • store the ODS output objects in raw form. The output is kept in the original internal representation as a data component plus a table definition.

  • The new LIB= option in the DOC statement enables you to list documents that are in the specified library.

  • The #BYLINE, #BYVAL, and #BYVAR directives can now be used in seven of the PROC DOCUMENT statements.

  • The new AFTER option in the OBPAGE statement adds or deletes page breaks after output objects.

• TEMPLATE procedure

  • The following new statements are provided in the TEMPLATE procedure.

    • The DEFINE TAGSET statement creates and modifies tagset definitions using a new definition statement and the new tagset attribute statements.

    • The DEFINE EVENT statement determines what is written to the output file using the new definition statement and the new event attribute statements.

  • The new boolean ABSTRACT= attribute can be applied to styles. If this attribute is set to TRUE, then the style will not appear in the CSS files or LaTeX style files.

  • The new ALT, LONGDESC, ACRONYM, and ABBR options in the DEFINE TABLE, DEFINE COLUMN, and DEFINE HEADER statements provide accessibility features in PROC TEMPLATE.

  • The following accessibility attributes have been added to the TEMPLATE procedure.

    ABBR=	is a column, header, and footer attribute that provides an abbreviated form of the cell's content, which can be displayed in place of a cell 's content.
    SUMMARY=	is a table attribute that provides a summary of the purpose and structure of a table.

  • The new INDENT style element enables you to specify the distance from the left side of a cell for indentation purposes. The INDENT style element specifies where to begin the text.

  • The _LABEL_ keyword is now treated as a dynamic variable, and it can be used just like any other dynamic variable in PROC TEMPLATE. Previously, _LABEL_ was a keyword that could only be used by itself in table and column headers.

  • In the TEMPLATE procedure, if you create HTML4 output, then the BORDERCOLORDARK and BORDERCOLORLIGHT style attributes are ignored because they are not part of the HTML4 standard. If you want a color border, then use the BORDER= style attribute.
