Subject:      Ready for use (I hope): macro to convert tabulate output to nice
Content-type: MULTIPART/MIXED;

Hello,
 
Some time ago I started working again on the problem of converting TABULATE
output into WordPerfect tables. I also asked for help from SAS-L, and got some
tips.
In the end I developed a SAS macro which now really seems to work. It produces
two ASCII files, one with the bare contents of the output, and one with
WordPerfect macro commands to turn that into a complete WP-table.
 
Maybe it all will soon (?) be obsolete when Version 7 with ODS becomes
available. In the mean time perhaps some people can use it. And perhaps those
working on it at SI can see what kind of functionality at least one user would
like to see in that ODS... ;-)
 
For those not interested I apologize in cluttering up their mailbox, but I
append two files: the SAS macro and a WP document with some description.
 
I tried to make it independent of platforms and operating systems, so it should
be usable by anybody.
 
Interested in feedback,
