The code below surrounds the ODS TEXT= text with a green border, using either PROC TEMPLATE or inline style commands. If the style in use creates a border around the ODS TEXT= text, then set the style attributes border<LOCATION>color= to white. This logic is applicable in the RTF and HTML destinations as well.
