The SAS Programmer's PROC REPORT Handbook

Chapter 1

Introduction: Overview of Chapters

My previous book, The SAS Programmer's PROC REPORT Handbook: Basic to Advanced Reporting Techniques, (hereafter referred to as Reporting Techniques), provides details about the syntax of PROC REPORT, discusses the options, and shows how to use the statements within the procedure. It includes numerous examples for obtaining the desired report structure and the correct numbers. Chapter 6 of that book provides details and examples for changing the visual aspects of the report, such as coloring cells and adding images. However, because the book is focused on learning PROC REPORT, it does not provide a deep dive into all the ways that PROC REPORT interacts with the Output Delivery System (ODS).
