HTML hyperlinks can be generated with the RTF destination by using the URL= attribute. For example, if you want to add a hyperlink for the column headers, use the URL= attribute directly in the procedures that support the STYLE= option; see example 1. For procedures that don't support this option, use URL= in the template. Example 2 below uses URL= in the CALL DEFINE statement with PROC REPORT to create hyperlinks within the cell values. The hyperlinked cell values show up with the color of blue by default. The below example assumes that the files that are linked are already in existence, with the name of the value used as the naming convention. View output.

   /* Example 1 */

   ods rtf file='temp.rtf';

   proc report data=sales;
     column region state sales;
     define region / order style(header)={url="http:/www.sas.com"};
     define state / order style(header)={url="http:/www.ibm.com"};
     define region / order style(header)={url="http:/www.cisco.com"};

   run;

   ods rtf close;



   /* Example 2 */

   data sales;
     input region $  state $  sales;
     cards;
