Syntax
Required Argument
- output-object
-
specifies the ODS output
object.
Optional Arguments
- n
-
specifies the relative
line that contains the footnote.
Range:1–10
Tips:The OBFOOTN line with the highest number appears on the
bottom line. If you omit n,
then SAS assumes a value of 1. Therefore, specify OBFOOTN or OBFOOTN1
for the first text line.
You can create footnotes that contain blank lines between
them. For example, if you specify a text string with an OBFOOTN statement
that is followed by an OBFOOTN3 statement, then a blank line separates
the two lines of text.
- SHOW
-
specifies that a table
containing the output object’s footnotes will be written to
active destinations.
- 'text'
-
specifies the text
string that becomes the footnote.
You can customize footnotes
by inserting BY variable values (#BYVALn), BY variable names (#BYVARn),
or BY lines (#BYLINE) into footnotes that are specified in PROC DOCUMENT
steps. After you specify the text, embed the items at the position
where you want them to appear. For more information, see
Customizing Labels, Titles, and Footnotes with BY Variables .
Length:The maximum text length
is 32000 characters.
Requirement:All text strings must be enclosed in quotation marks.
CAUTION:
If you
use the OBFOOTN statement without a text string, then all existing
footnotes for the specified output object are deleted.
