Solved!

Thanks Mark, it was just as simple as you suggested.

I was helping one of the SAS programmers on our team and he used the template I sent him (as below). But, he put the "style=mystyle" segment in the PROC REPORT statement, not the ODS statement. As soon as we switched it to the ODS statement, it ran okay.

Thanks again, I do appreciate the help.

Hi Jules,

The PROC TEMPLATE is outputting. However, it may not be being used during the proc report. If wrapped with and ODS statement, does the ODS statement have STYLE=mystyle in it? so that it knows to use it.

Hope this is helpful.

I am modifying a template as shown in the following SAS log -

proc template; 2656 define style mystyle; 2657 parent = styles.rtf; 2658 replace fonts / 2659 'TitleFont2' = ("Times",12pt,Bold Italic) 2660 'TitleFont' = ("Times",13pt,Bold Italic) 2661 'StrongFont' = ("Times",10pt,Bold) 2662 'EmphasisFont' = ("Times",10pt,Italic) 2663 'FixedEmphasisFont' = ("Courier New, Courier",9pt,Italic) 2664 'FixedStrongFont' = ("Courier New, Courier",9pt,Bold) 2665 'FixedHeadingFont' = ("Courier New, Courier",9pt,Bold) 2666 2667 'BatchFixedFont' = ("Courier New, Courier",9pt) /* <========== */ 2668 2669 'FixedFont' = ("Courier New, Courier",9pt) 2670 'headingEmphasisFont' = ("Times",11pt,Bold Italic) 2671 'headingFont' = ("Times",11pt,Bold) 2672 'docFont' = ("Times",10pt); 2673 2674 replace Body from Document 2675 "Controls the Body file. " / 2676 2677 bottommargin = .4in /* These settings work */ 2678 topmargin = .09in 2679 rightmargin = 1in 2680 leftmargin = 1in; 2681 2682 end; NOTE: Overwriting existing template/link: Mystyle NOTE: STYLE 'Mystyle' has been saved to: SASUSER.TEMPLAT 2683 run; NOTE: PROCEDURE TEMPLATE used: real time 0.02 seconds cpu time 0.00 seconds

But, later in the program I get the following message in the SAS log when I run PROC REPORT -

NOTE: Unable to find the "MYSTYLE" style element. Default style attributes will be used. NOTE: There were 26 observations read from the data set MYLIB.FINALRESULTS5. NOTE: PROCEDURE REPORT used: real time 0.07 seconds cpu time 0.03 seconds

Does anyone know hat may be happening here?

TIA,

Jules Bosch
