foot-text
contains the text of the footnote definition, or a blank if the footnote is not defined.

Type: Character

foot-num
is the number (1 to 10) of the footnote definition.

Type: Numeric


Details

Use GETFOOT to retrieve any footnote text that was previously defined in the SAS session by either the FOOTNOTE statement or the SCL SETFOOT routine. Only the footnote text is retrieved. Graphic options such as color or font are not returned.

You can view footnotes in the FOOTNOTES window by using the FOOTNOTE command. Changing any text in the FOOTNOTES window, however, resets all graphically defined FOOTNOTE options, such as color, font, and position.

For more information about footnotes, see SAS Language Reference: Dictionary. For more information about graphical footnotes, see SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference .


Example

Store the text of FOOTNOTE2 in the variable FNOTE2:

fnote2=getfoot(2);
