Controlling ODS Results

The Output Delivery System (ODS) is a method of delivering output in a variety of formats and of making the formatted output easy to access. ODS can produce an output data set, traditional monospace output (send output to the Listing destination), and output that is formatted in Hypertext Markup Language (send output to the HTML destination). For information about using ODS, refer to The Complete Guide to the SAS Output Delivery System.
