Output Delivery System: The Basics and Beyond

Comparing ODS Output Data Sets to Printed Output

To further explore the relationship between procedure results and output data sets, let's look at a more complex procedure. The previous example generated only one output data set. This time we'll look at a procedure that creates two.

Figure 7.4 shows the RTF results of a PROC CORR step. If you look carefully at this RTF output, you can see that there are two tables of results. The first table describes the two variables, and the second table displays the correlation coefficients.

These are two separate output objects. To see this, you can look at the Results window displayed in Figure 7.5. It shows two items under the Corr folder. One object is labeled "Variables Information" and the other is ...
