Create the master parent Base.Template.Column and specify which style element and style attributes to use for different cells in a column. The DEFINE TABLE statement creates the master parent Base.Template.Column. Base.Template.Column will be applied to every table created by SAS, unless it is overridden by another template created by PROC TEMPLATE, removed with the DELETE statement, or manually removed from the item store. The STYLE= column attribute statement specifies that column fonts are italicized. The first CELLSTYLE-AS statement specifies that if the value of the cell is greater than five, the font size is 15pt and if the value of the cell is equal to "Num" then the font size is 20pt.

define column base.template.column;
   style={fontstyle=italic};
   cellstyle _val_ > 5 as {fontsize=15pt},
             _val_ = "Num" as {fontsize=20pt};
end;
