This example uses the HTML Output Formatter, one of the HTML Formatting Tools, to capture results generated by PROC REPORT.

Marking the Start of Capturing

To begin capturing the output, insert the Output Formatter CAPTURE=ON statement. This captures all output until a CAPTURE=OFF statement is encountered.

Next, insert a SAS TITLE statement that contains embedded HTML tags. These tags change the justification and appearance of the text that will display in the HTML-formatted pages.

Then, insert the PROC REPORT code, as indicated in the following example code. This procedure generates the output that is captured by the Output Formatter and displayed on the HTML page:

   %out2htm(capture=on);
   title1 '<CENTER> <FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=5 COLOR=BLUE> 
      Eastern US Sales Report</CENTER> </FONT>';
   <Insert PROC REPORT code here>

Marking the End of Capturing

Insert an Output Formatter CAPTURE=OFF statement to stop capturing the output, as follows:

   %out2htm(capture=off,
            encode=n,
            bgtype=image,
            bg=map.jpg,
            htmlfile=outrpt.html,
            ttag=NO FORMATTING);

You can also specify the following arguments:

• HTMLFILE=OUTRPT.HTML, which specifies the name of the HTML file.

• ENCODE=N, which tells the Output Formatter not to encode the angle brackets in the SAS TITLE statement so that the Web browser can act on them as an HTML-formatting instruction. This enables the Web browser to render the title with the attributes specified.

• BGTYPE=IMAGE, which indicates that you want to use an image as the background type. Specify the name of the image in the BG= argument.

• TTAG=NO FORMATTING, which tells the Output Formatter not to assign HTML tags to the SAS title lines.
