The Complete Guide to the SAS Output Delivery System

Programs that Illustrate Inheritance

The programs in this section show the PROC TEMPLATE steps that were used in How Do Style-Definition Inheritance and Style-Element Inheritance Work? to illustrate inheritance in style definitions. These programs also show the SAS code that uses the style definitions.
