Introduction

In previous lessons, you've seen both traditional SAS listing output and HTML output. When you set options to create HTML output, SAS uses Output Delivery System (ODS) statements to generate the output.

Using ODS, you can create, customize, and manage HTML output 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.

Caution: By default, all code you submit to SAS with SAS Enterprise Guide has ODS statements included to create HTML output. You must set options in SAS Enterprise Guide before you can do the practices in this lesson.
