The DOCUMENT Procedure
OBTITLE Statement
Creates or modifies title lines for the output.

Syntax
Required Argument
- output-object
-
specifies the name
of the output object.
Optional Arguments
- n
-
specifies the relative
line that contains the title.
Range:1–10
Tips:The OBTITLE line with the highest number appears on the
bottom line. If you omit n,
then SAS assumes a value of 1. Therefore, specify OBTITLE or OBTITLE1
for the first text line.
You can create titles that contain blank lines between
them. For example, if you specify a text string with an OBTITLE statement
that is followed by an OBTITLE3 statement, then a blank line separates
the two lines of text.
- SHOW
-
specifies that a table
containing the output object’s titles will be written to active
destinations.
- 'text'
-
specifies the text
string.
You can customize titles
by inserting BY variable values (#BYVALn), BY variable names (#BYVARn),
or BY lines (#BYLINE) into output titles 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 no text
is specified, then the OBTITLE statement deletes all existing titles
for the specified output object only.
