Incorporating broad coverage of the best ODS features in one book, this work goes beyond Haworth's original ODS text to demonstrate the many new and enhanced features of ODS and SAS 9.2. It presents each of the wide array of ODS techniques in an easy-to-use, two-page layout.

PROC DOCUMENT by Example Using SAS demonstrates the practical uses of the DOCUMENT procedure, a part of the Output Delivery System, in SAS 9.3. Michael Tuchman explains how to work with PROC DOCUMENT, which is designed to store your SAS procedure output for replay at a later time without having to rerun your original SAS code. You’ll learn how to: save a collection of procedure output, descriptive text, and supporting graphs that can be replayed as a single unit save output once and distribute that same output in a variety of ODS formats such as HTML, CSV, and PDF create custom reports by comparing output from the same procedure run at different points in time create a table of contents for your output modify the appearance of both textual and graphical ODS output even if the original data is no longer available or easily accessible manage your tabular and graphical output by using descriptive labels, titles, and footnotes rearrange the original order of output in a procedure to suit your needs After using this book, you’ll be able to quickly and easily create libraries of professional-looking output that are accessible at any time. This book is part of the SAS Press program.

Output Delivery System: The Basics is an example-driven book that is gearedtoward beginner and intermediate ODS users and that demonstrates the many wonders of ODS. Beginning with basic syntax and progressing to more complex techniques and custom styles, you will learn to take basic SAS output and transform it into a beautiful integrated Web page, a word-processor-friendly RTF file, high-resolution printed output, and a bookmarked PDF file. You can also create a data set from the results of most procedures, allowing you to build your own custom reports. Each of the wide array of ODS techniques is presented in an easy-to-use, two-page layout with the text and code on one page and the resulting output on the facing page.

Easily Use SAS to Produce Your Graphics Diagrams, plots, and other types of graphics are indispensable components in nearly all phases of statistical analysis, from the initial assessment of the data to the selection of appropriate statistical models to the diagnosis of the chosen models once they have been fitted to the data. Harnessing the full graphics capabilities of SAS, A Handbook of Statistical Graphics Using SAS ODS covers essential graphical methods needed in every statistician’s toolkit. It explains how to implement the methods using SAS 9.4. The handbook shows how to use SAS to create many types of statistical graphics for exploring data and diagnosing fitted models. It uses SAS’s newer ODS graphics throughout as this system offers a number of advantages, including ease of use, high quality of results, consistent appearance, and convenient semiautomatic graphs from the statistical procedures. Each chapter deals graphically with several sets of example data from a wide variety of areas, such as epidemiology, medicine, and psychology. These examples illustrate the use of graphic displays to give an overview of data, to suggest possible hypotheses for testing new data, and to interpret fitted statistical models. The SAS programs and data sets are available online.
