Hello,

I did some experiments on this problem a little while ago. Andre's
first solution worked for the RTF output itself but not for the TC
field created using ODS proclabel. Here's (yet) another solution that
does work in the TC field, as well as the table itself. The key is
apparently include the RTF code directly in the program code, without
using an escape character.

%let alpha_sym=%nrbquote( \field {\*\fldinst { SYMBOL \\u 945 } } );

title1 'Table 9999';
title2 "{Alpha &alpha_sym = .05}";
title3 "{\field {\*\fldinst { SYMBOL \\u 945 } }}";

ods listing close;
ods rtf file='.\test.rtf';
ods proclabel "Table 9999: {Alpha &alpha_sym = .05}";
proc print data=sashelp.class noobs label contents=' ';
run;
ods rtf close;
ods listing;

If you click the "Show/Hide ¶" button in Word, the TC field becomes
visible and you can confirm it contains an alpha character.

Hope this helps,
