Conventions for Examples

Most of the output shown in this book is produced with the following SAS System options:

options linesize=80 pagesize=200 nonumber nodate;

The STATISTICAL style is used to create the HTML output and graphs that appears in the online documentation. A style template controls stylistic elements such as colors, fonts, and presentation attributes. The style template is specified in the ODS HTML statement as follows:

ods html style=statistical;

See Chapter 21, Statistical Graphics Using ODS (SAS/STAT 9.22 User's Guide), for more information about styles.

If you run the examples, you might get slightly different output. This is a function of the SAS System options used and the precision used by your computer for floating-point calculations.

The following GOPTIONS statement is used to create traditional graphics output (see Chapter 3, SAS/QC Graphics ).

filename GSASFILE 'file-specification';
goptions gsfname = GSASFILE
         gsfmode = replace
         fileonly           
         dev     = png 
         htext   = 2.6pct
         htitle  = 3.5pct
         hsize   = 6.4in
         border
         horigin = 0in
         vorigin = 0in ;
