Add a Section to a Report

You can add sections to any type of report, including reports that were created in another SAS reporting application. However, be aware that when you save your changes, you are creating a new saved report. If you replace an old report with a new report, the format might change slightly.
For example, if you display a report in Edit mode and then add one or more sections to it, you must complete the Save As dialog box to save your changes. By completing the Save As dialog box, you create a new saved report.
When you add a section, you can choose to use the same data, header, and footer as an existing section.

  1. In the Table of Contents pane in Edit mode, select Optionsthen selectInsert a New Section or select Insertthen selectNew Section to open the New Section dialog box.
