The ODS Statements

Example 4: Using a Selection List with Multiple Procedure Steps

ODS features:
ODS SELECT statement:
with label
with name
with and without PERSIST
ALL
ODS SHOW statement
ODS HTML statement:
BODY=
CONTENTS=
FRAME=
PAGE=
Other SAS features:
PROC GLM
PROC PRINT
PROC PLOT

This example runs the same procedures multiple times to illustrate how ODS maintains and modifies a selection list. The ODS SHOW statement writes the overall selection list to the SAS log. The example does not alter selection lists for individual destinations, so the contents file that is generated by the ODS HTML statement shows which output objects are routed to both the HTML and the Listing destinations. (The Printer destination is not open.)

Note:   This example uses PROC GLM, which is part of SAS/STAT software.  [cautionend]

Note:   This example uses file names that may not be valid in all operating environments. To successfully run the example in your operating environment, you may need to change the file specifications. See Alternative ODS HTML Statements for Running Examples in Different Operating Environments.  [cautionend]

HTML Output

Contents File Produced by the ODS HTML Statement
The contents file shows which output objects from each procedure were sent to the open ODS destinations. You can see that no output was written to the HTML destination for PROC PRINT (because it did not produce anything whose named matched the name in the selection list). You can also see that the PROC PLOT output was written to the HTML destination after the ODS SELECT ALL statement was executed. [HTML Output]
