GREPLAY Procedure

Using the GREPLAY Procedure to Create Custom Templates

You can use the GREPLAY procedure to create custom templates. Custom templates are typically used to perform the following actions:

control the layout of multiple graphs on one page, which is useful for dashboards
replay graphics output from several catalog entries, or from the same catalog, on one display or page
change the shape of your graphics output
change the size of your graphics output

To define and view a custom template:

Start the GREPLAY procedure with the NOFS option.
Assign a template catalog with the TC= option.
Define a template with the TDEF statement.
Preview the template with the PREVIEW statement.
End the GREPLAY procedure with the QUIT statement.

Before you create a template, you must assign a template catalog. If you are using the GREPLAY procedure in line mode, use the TDEF statement to define a template and the PREVIEW statement to preview a template. For example, the following statements define and preview a template named TEMPLT:

proc greplay nofs tc=sasuser.cat;
   tdef templt 1/def;
   preview templt;
quit;
