This is indeed what I was looking for. Thanks Mark. I have to admit that I
was a bit to focused on creating it with a datastep.
Now I have come up with another problem.

I use following define statement in the proc report (the style alligns the
values to the decimal separator):

define val1 / "YLS" width=10 style(column)=[protectspecialchars=off
pretext="\tqdec\tx150 "];


This works fine except for the width statement. This doesn't seem to have
any affect on the result??
However the syntax is the same as in the faq (rtf14).
