Syntax

foot-num

is the number (1 to 10) of the footnote definition to create or modify.

Type: Numeric

foot-text

is the text for the footnote definition.

Type: Character

Details

SETFOOT works just like the FOOTNOTE statement. It clears all footnote definitions that are numbered higher than the one created. You cannot use SETFOOT to set graphic options such as color, tint, and position.

You can view footnote definitions in the FOOTNOTES window by using the FOOTNOTE command. Changing any text in the FOOTNOTES window, however, resets all graphically defined footnote options such as color, font, and position.

For more information about footnotes, see SAS Language Reference: Dictionary. For more information about graphical footnotes, see SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference .

Example

Create a footnote numbered 5. The statement deletes all footnotes with numbers greater than 5.

call setfoot(5,'This is the Fifth Footnote');
