Subject:      Re: Line Breaks in odsout

I think I found part of my own answer... let me rephrase my quiestion.

http://www.sascommunity.org/mwiki/images/b/be/ODS_DATA_Step_Object_Method_10
1-Tip_Sheet.pdf

According to this tip sheet, there is the "new_line" option for
the ".format_text()" method.  However when I have tried to use it, I get an
error.

Is this element of odsout functional in SAS 9.2?


4910  title; footnote;
4911  data _Null_;
4912    declare odsout pg();
4913    pg.table_start(overrides:"borderwidth=0 ");
4914    pg.row_start();
4915      pg.cell_start(overrides:"just=c font_size=14pt font_weight=bold");
4916        pg.format_text (text: "Lorem Aliquid Mnesarchum", newLine:1);
4917        pg.format_text (text: "Deterruisset Necessitatibus", newLine:1);
4918        pg.format_text (text: "June 2011", newLine:1);
4919      pg.cell_end();
4920    pg.row_end();
4921    pg.table_end();
4922  run;
