About the Task That You Will Perform

You want to be able to modify your default output later without rerunning your procedures. To accomplish this, you can create an ODS document that contains output from the procedures. The combination of the ODS DOCUMENT statement and the DOCUMENT procedure enables you to store a report’s individual components, and then modify and replay the report at a later time. The ODS DOCUMENT statement stores the actual ODS output objects that are created when running a report. You can then use the DOCUMENT procedure to rearrange, duplicate, or remove output from the results without rerunning the procedures from the original report.
