Problem Note 40706: Non-Listing output left justifies data containing bi-directional languages

DetailsCodeHotfixAboutRate It

Bi-directional (BIDI) text is a type of text or script that is written in both left-to right (LTR) and right-to-left (RTL) directions.

When you create output with ODS HTML, RTF, PDF or when you use some SAS® products such as SAS® OpRisk Monitor to generate ODS output containing BIDI data, you might see that some data is not right justified.

To correct this problem, click the Full Code tab in this SAS note and run the SAS program that is provided on the tab. Then restart your SAS session. Alternatively, a hot fix is provided.

Note: Use of the PROC TEMPLATE workaround or the hot fix will result in ALL character columns being right justified, including columns exclusively containing non-BIDI data.
