The URL style attribute enables you to insert a URL within text in the non-Listing ODS destinations. In the PDF destination, the URL style attribute must be the first style attribute that is specified in the string of a cell, whether the cell is created by TEXT=, a TITLE statement, a FOOTNOTE statement, or in data. Please note that only one URL is permitted per cell.

The Full Code tab illustrates sample code in which the URL style attribute is specified first.

* For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be fixed.

Because the URL attribute must be first, the following code creates a URL of the entire paragraph, but uses inline style commands to underline just the text "SAS Customer Support Site". Note the use of the CELLHEIGHT attribute to increase the height of the row, which allows the underline to be displayed. Both syntax methods for using inline style functions are used in the sample code: '^S={ }' and '^{style [ ]}'.
