Getting Started with the SAS System Using SAS/ASSIST Software

Setting Up HTML Output

Use this procedure to format your output in HTML and display it in your operating environment's HTML output browser:

Follow this selection path:

Tasks Setup Profiles User...
The User Profile window appears.
In the Type field, type HTML and press ENTER. A list of options for HTML output appears. This list varies by operating environment.
In the Value field for HTML Output, type Yes and press Enter.
Note: For mainframe operating environments, this is the only option for HTML output; skip to step 6.
If your output browser supports HTML frames, enter Yes in the Value field for Frames Support. Contact the SAS Support Consultant at your site if you are not sure.
In accordance with your operating system file naming conventions, enter complete file names for HTML body file, HTML frame file, HTML page file, and HTML contents file. If you entered or left No for Frames Support, you need only to specify a file name for HTML body file. You can name these files anything you want, but they must all have different names. For directory-based operating environments, we suggest that these files all be in the same directory. Contact the SAS Support Consultant at your site if you are not sure how to perform this step.
Save these options by following this selection path:

File End
The User Profile window disappears. When you perform SAS/ASSIST tasks that generate output, HTML-formatted output will be saved to the files you specified above.
To view your HTML output, point your browser to the file that you specified in HTML frame file (or HTML body file if that was the only file you specified). See your browser's documentation for details on viewing a local file.
