As a powerful tool to control the format and destination of SAS output, the SAS Output Delivery System (ODS) provides formatting functionality that is not available when using individual SAS procedures or the DATA step without ODS enhancements. This hands-on workshop is designed to explore various SAS output formatting and reporting techniques. Numerous examples are presented to improve mastery of ODS capabilities while providing a better understanding of ODS statements and options to perform common tasks such as how to create SAS output reports for popular formats, customize report contents, and modify the appearance of the output. Prior preliminary knowledge of SAS program is required.

This is a researcher focused workshop.
