Suhua:
For your question one, there are two methods. First, you can write the
DATA _NULL_ result to a file. You can then refer the file in PROC
GPRINT with a virtual filename. Here you need to rewrite the goptions
for the device = driver part by specifying a custom CGM driver to
PowerPoint. Check out the Tech Support (I can't remember which issue)
that teaches you to customize the driver. Second, you can write your
output to EXCEL through DDE. There are a lot of discussion on this
list. Keep in mind that when you investigate the first method,
SAS/GRAPH is required.
To get move your decimal point in the output, use the format as follows:
format rate 6.2;
The result should be 0.50.
To get right-justified results, you may use the RIGHT() function in
conjunction with your put statement.
