TEMPLATE Procedure: Creating Table Templates
DYNAMIC Statement
Defines a symbol that references a value that the
data component supplies from the procedure or DATA step.
Restriction: |
The DYNAMIC statement can be used only in the template
of a table, column, header, or footer. A dynamic variable that is
defined in a template is available to that template and to all the
templates that it contains.

Syntax
DYNAMIC variable-1 <=default-variable-1><'text-1'>
<... variable-n <=default-variable-n><'text-n'>>;
Required Argument
- variable
-
names a variable that
the data component supplies. ODS resolves the value of the variable
when it binds the template and the data component.
Tip:Dynamic variables are most useful to the authors of SAS
procedures and to DATA step programmers.
Optional Arguments
- default-variable
-
sets the default variable.
- text
-
is text that is placed
in the template to explain the dynamic variable's use. Text of this
type becomes part of the compiled template, which you can view with
the SOURCE statement, whereas SAS comments do not.
