> hi all,

I am trying to create a data dictionary from a data library and output into the ODS PDF destination . I want a report without any frills and fancies and so i am just opening the PDF destination before the proc report and then closing the destination after the proc. But all i am getting is a blank pdf file. i would appreciate if someone can help me on this..

proc report data=test.fmc1a; column table memname varnum name type label format;

define table /order order=data width = 2; define memname /order order=data width = 20; define varnum /display width = 2; define name /display width = 10; define type /display width = 10; define label /display width = 25; define format /display width = 10; run;

Hi, rao,

HTH. Tested on sas 9 on windows xp. Change the field width as you see fit.

Cheers, Chang
