Producing HTML Output

Lesson Overview

Introduction

In other SAS OnlineTutor lessons, you've seen both traditional SAS listing output and HTML output. If you run SAS software in a desktop operating environment, you also learned to specify listing and HTML output in the Preferences window.

Using the SAS Output Delivery System (ODS), you can create, customize, and manage HTML output in any operating environment by submitting programming statements. After you create HTML files, you can view them using Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or any Web browser that fully supports HTML 3.2.

This lesson shows you how to create and view HTML output using ODS. You also learn how to apply styles to ODS output.
