PROC DOCUMENT by Example Using SAS demonstrates the practical uses of the DOCUMENT procedure, a part of the Output Delivery System, in SAS 9.3. Michael Tuchman explains how to work with PROC DOCUMENT, which is designed to store your SAS procedure output for replay at a later time without having to rerun your original SAS code. You’ll learn how to:
save a collection of procedure output, descriptive text, and supporting graphs that can be replayed as a single unit
save output once and distribute that same output in a variety of ODS formats such as HTML, CSV, and PDF
create custom reports by comparing output from the same procedure run at different points in time
create a table of contents for your output
modify the appearance of both textual and graphical ODS output even if the original data is no longer available or easily accessible
manage your tabular and graphical output by using descriptive labels, titles, and footnotes
rearrange the original order of output in a procedure to suit your needs
After using this book, you’ll be able to quickly and easily create libraries of professional-looking output that are accessible at any time.
