Usage Note 24239: How should I use CELLWIDTH= in ODS PRINTER tables?
Header widths try to conform to the data cells beneath
them, so setting CELLWIDTH= on the data columns works well.
However, don't try to use CELLWIDTH= on the header cells.
For SAS 8.2, a column is made as wide as
the widest data, and if the header width is specified, then the header
might be drawn more narrowly than the rest of the column.
The effect can be especially odd if you have spanning headers. Each spanning
header gets (by default) the header style of the first column, so if you
specify a CELLWIDTH= for the spanning header as well as for the columns,
then you are asking the spanning header to be two different sizes.
The results when ODS PRINTER tries
to carry out this impossible task are not pretty.
See also a
hotfix
for SAS 8.2 that corrects a bug in spanned headers. See SAS Note 9548 for more information about column placement.
