Using ODS to Publish Packages
SAS Output Delivery System (ODS) packages enable ODS destinations to use the SAS Publishing Framework, which is a feature of SAS Integration Technologies. An ODS package tracks the output from any active destinations that connect with it. After the destinations close, the package can be published to any of the publish destinations. The package can continue to be used, or it can be closed. A package remains active until explicitly closed.
This document explains the ODS PACKAGE statement, ODS Package templates, and the use of automatic packages with tagsets.
All of the syntax is production in SAS 9.2 except for package templates, which is preproduction.
Your Turn
The ODS developers, testers, and documenters are very excited about the potential of these new capabilities. You can send electronic mail to ods@sas.com with your comments.
