The TEMPLATE Procedure

Example 1: Customizing a Table Definition that a SAS Procedure Uses

PROC TEMPLATE features:

EDIT statement

Header attributes

	JUST=
	STYLE=

Table attributes

	DOUBLE_SPACE=
	OVERLINE=
	UNDERLINE=

Other ODS features:

ODS HTML statement

ODS SELECT statement

Data set:

STATEPOP

This example customizes the table definition for the Moments output object from PROC UNIVARIATE. The first program uses the table definition that SAS Institute supplies to generate both Listing and HTML output of the Moments object.

The second program

Creates and edits a copy of the default template.
Edits a header within the template.
Sets column attributes to enhance the appearance of both the HTML and the Listing output.

Note: This example uses file names that may not be valid in all operating environments. To successfully run the example in your operating environment, you may need to change the file specifications. See Alternative ODS HTML Statements for Running Examples in Different Operating Environments. [cautionend]

Program 1: Using the Table Definition that SAS Provides

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

ods html body='defaultmoments-body.htm';

ods select moments;

proc univariate data=statepop mu0=3.5; var citypop_90; title 'Default Moments Table'; run;

ods html close;

Default Listing Output

Listing Output from PROC UNIVARIATE (Default Moments Table)

Default HTML Output

Program 2: Using a Customized Table Definition

ods path sasuser.templat(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read);

proc template; edit base.univariate.moments;

double_space=on; underline=on; overline=on;

edit head;

style=header{foreground=green font_style=italic};

just=left;

end; end; run;

ods html body='custommoments-body.htm';

ods select moments;

proc univariate data=statepop mu0=3.5; var citypop_90; title 'Custom Moments Table'; run;

ods html close;
