The
Output Delivery System (ODS) is a method of delivering output in a variety
of formats and making these formats easy to access. ODS provides templates
that define the structure of the output from DATA steps and from PROC steps.
The DATA step enables you to use the ODS option in a FILE statement and in
a PUT statement.
ODS combines raw data with one or more templates to
produce several types of output called output objects. Output objects are
sent to "destinations" such as the output destination, the listing
destination, the printer destination, or Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
For more information, see
Output Delivery System.

SAS Output Delivery System: User's Guide.
