Syntax
Required Argument
- footer-specification
-
is one or more footers.
If the footer is defined outside the current table template, reference
it by its path in the template store. Footers in the template are
laid out from top to bottom in the same order that they are specified
in the FOOTER statement. Each footer-specification is
one of the following:
- "string"
-
specifies the text
to use for the footer. If you specify a string, you do not need to
specify a DEFINE FOOTER statement. However, you cannot specify any
footer attributes except for a split character. If the SPLIT= attribute
is not in effect and if the first character of the footer that you
specify is neither a blank character nor an alphanumeric character,
PROC TEMPLATE treats it as the split character.
- footer-path
-
is the path of the
footer template to use. A footer-path consists of one or more names,
separated by periods. Each name represents a directory in a template
store, which is s a type of SAS file.
- _LABEL_
-
uses the label of the
output object as the footer. Each SAS procedure specifies a label
for each output object that it creates. The DATA step uses the value
of the OBJECTLABEL= option as the label of the output object. If OBJECTLABEL=
is not specified, it uses the text of the first TITLE statement as
the label.
Default:If you omit a FOOTER statement, ODS makes a footer
for each footer template (DEFINE FOOTER statement), and places the
footers in the same order that the footer templates have in the table
template.
