What’s New in the Output Delivery System, Version 9.0

Sandy McNeill, SAS Institute


Along with every new version of SAS, the ODS developers work hard to bring you new features. So what's new with Version 9? A new destination called MARKUP along with something called markup definitions (aka TAGSETs) will become production. This new destina tion allows configurability of your markup output. Another new destination (also available as a PROC) that will be production for Version 9 is the document. If you've ever wanted to the ability to run your procedures once and then go back and pick and ch oose which pieces you want or how you would like them rendered, then this is for you. In addition to these new destinations, RTF has some new features and functionality -- options for Page X of Y, decimal alignment, and cell indentation are a few of th e highlighted features.
