TEMPLATE Procedure: Creating Crosstabulation Table Templates
DEFINE HEADER Statement
Creates a header template.
| Note: | The DEFINE HEADER statement begins a header template block. The following statements are commonly used within a DEFINE HEADER block: DYNAMIC Statement, NOTES Statement, and TEXT Statement. |
| See: | Creating a Customized Crosstabulation Table Template with No Legend |
Syntax
DEFINE HEADER symbol;
<attribute-1;>< attribute-n>;
DYNAMIC variable-1<'text-1'> < variable-n<'text-n'>>;
NOTES 'text';
TEXT header-specification </ expression>;
END;
Summary of Optional Arguments
Specify alignment for headers and footers that wrap
Specify the number of blank lines to place between
the current header and the next header or between the current footer
and the previous footer
Specify the style element and any changes to its
attributes to use for the header or footer
DEFINE HEADER and DEFINE FOOTER Attribute Statements
DEFINE HEADER and DEFINE FOOTER Attribute Statements
| CINDENT='character' | |
| SPACE=positive-integer | |
| STYLE=<[style-element-specification(s)]> |
- CINDENT='character'
- specifies alignment
for headers or footers that wrap. If a header or footer is too wide
to fit on a single line, insert the specified character at the column
position at which the second and subsequent lines should start. The
first use of the CINDENT character determines the column position.
For example, the following TEXT statement makes wrapped lines start
at the same column as the left parenthesis:
text _COL_NAME_ "(;" _COL_LABEL_ ")"; CINDENT=';';
- SPACE=positive-integer
- specifies the number
of blank lines to place between the current header and the next header
or between the current footer and the previous footer.Default:0 for headers and 1 for footersTip:The SPACE= attribute is valid only in the LISTING destination.
- STYLE=<[style-element-specification(s)]>
- specifies the style
element and any changes to its attributes to use for the current column.
Neither style-attribute-specification nor style-element-name is
required. However, you must use at least one of them. You can use
braces ({ and }) instead of square brackets ([ and ]).
- style-element-name
-
is the name of the style element to use to display the data in the column. The style element must be part of a style template that is registered with the Output Delivery System. SAS provides some styles. You can create customized styles with PROC TEMPLATE. For details, see DEFINE STYLE Statement. By default, ODS produces different parts of ODS output with different elements. For example, by default, a table header is displayed with the style element Header. The style elements that you would most likely use with the STYLE= attribute for a table header are as follows:The style elements that you would most likely use with the STYLE= attribute for a footer are as follows:The style element provides the basis for displaying the header or footer. Additional style attributes that you provide can modify the display.For more information, see Viewing the Contents of a Style.
- style-attribute-specification
-
describes the style attribute to change. Each style-attribute-specification has this general form:style-attribute-name=style-attribute-valueFor information about the style attributes that you can specify, see Detailed Information for All Style Attributes.
Tips:The STYLE= attribute is valid only in the markup family, printer family, and RTF destinations.If you use the STYLE= attribute inside a quoted string, then add a space before or after the carriage return to prevent errors. SAS does not interpret a carriage return as a space. You must explicitly specify spaces in quoted strings.
