Hi, Mike,
"contents=" in ods html statement is to indicates the name of html file to
where the table of contents should go. V8 online doc says:
CONTENTS=
identifies the file that contains a table of contents to the HTML
output. The contents file links to the body file.
What you probably want to do, if you want to print all the data in the
dataset data_final is doing something like:
ods html file="c:\results.xls";
proc print data=data_final;
run;
ods html close;
Change the proc print with your favorate procedure. HTH
Cheers,
Chang
