Getting Started with the Output Delivery System |
Before SAS 7, most SAS procedures generated output that was designed for a traditional line-printer. This type of output has limitations that prevent you from getting the most value from your results:
Traditional SAS output is limited to monospace fonts. In a time of desktop document editors and publishing systems, you want more versatility in printed output.
Some commonly used procedures produce printed output but do not create an output data set. Many times it would be very convenient to produce not only printed output but also an output data set that you could use as input to another SAS procedure or to a DATA step.
