no arguments: cancels all existing footnotes.
n: specifies the relative line to be occupied by the footnote.
'text' | "text": specifies the text of the footnote that is enclosed in single or double quotation marks. For compatibility with previous releases, SAS accepts some text without quotation marks. When writing new programs or updating existing programs, always surround text with quotation marks.
