Dear SAS-L,
From the truth-in-advertising department. First, I am running SAS
V7(P1) on WNT4(SP5), so the 300-charcater column is not a problem.
Second, I should have mentioned that I was rendering the report in
HTML using ODS. That's the problem. The documentation clearly
states that the FLOW option does NOT honor the split character. The
solution is to embed a '<br>' instead of a '/' in the column
contents. But ODS is too smart for me. It traps the <br> tag and
encodes it so it shows up as the literal '<br>' instead of an
embedded HTML tag. The output macros, %OUT2HTM(), for example, used
to have an ENCODE= parameter which would allow you to turn off this
encoding. I haven't found the analogous option in ODS. But, I'm
still looking.
Stay tuned. - Jack

Dear SAS-L,
I have a 300-character field which I would like to display in PROC
REPORT. The procedure dutifully wraps the text into the 40-charcater
column space that I specified, but I'd like to control how the
wrapping occurs. I though embedding a split character would work.
For example:
LongText = 'Dancer/Prancer/Vixen';
would result in
Reindeer
- - ---------
Dancer
Prancer
Vixen
Any thoughts? TIA - Jack
