ODS 101+

Overview The Output Delivery System (ODS) forms an universal layer between SAS DATA steps and procedures and the output they produce. This facilitates flexible formatting of outputs for a wide variety of output destinations: printers, printer-like files (PDF, postscript), screen (HTML) and so on. A special category is the output destination, which stores procedure output in SAS data sets, also for those procedures that do not have an output option. This paper discusses the basic ODS statements and shows examples of the output produced. It also hints to the more advanced options for tailoring the output to specific needs.
