The equal sign can be removed from the BY value in the table of contents by using the ODS MARKUP destination. The MARKUP destination gives you access to each piece of output. Therefore you can substring this value from the BY value using DATA step functions in SAS 9.1. This can also be done with the ODS DOCUMENT destination, which you can use together with all destinations and not just with the HTML destination. PROC REPORT is not supported by the DOCUMENT destination in 9.1 and PROC PRINT minimally supported. The below example removes the equal sign from the values of the procedure. View output.

     /*break / if cmp(HTMLCLASS,"bycontentfolder");        */
