Paper #QT07

2.  Converting RTF output to PDF output results in
unwanted format changes
 Using Proc Report code developed for ODS to
RTF on ODS to PDF results in unwanted format
changes
 Best results come from ODS to PDF

4.  The paper contains a Proc Template example
which meets the FDA requirements for version of
Adobe, fonts, margins, etc.
 The paper contains an ODS to PDF statement
which meets the FDA requirements for page
orientation, bookmarks, navigation tab, etc.

6.  Unicode symbols work as expected
 A helpful table of all possible unicode symbols can
be found on wikipedia
title5 j=c "Subjects ~{unicode 2265}50
Years of Age";

7.  The bottom border of the cell must be drawn to
underline the spanning text
Column ("~S={borderbottomcolor=black
borderbottomwidth=.5} Cycle 1
Treatment" col1-col3);
7

8.  Printing a line as the first footnote which spans the
entire table layout
footnote "~{style [outputwidth=100%
bordertopcolor=black
Bordertopwidth=.1pt]}";

9.  Some exist as unicodes, so that is an option
 ~{super} and ~{sub} work, but the result is abnormally
small
 The best results come from offsetting the text, slightly
above or below the line
col1='Age~-12y~{style[font_size=7pt]a}';
col1='t~7y~{style[font_size=7pt]max}';

10.  If a categorical cell has a count of zero,
then zero should print with no percentage
 The zero should align with other counts
 When both categorical and continuous data are on
one table, decimals should still be aligned
 These can all be achieved using 2 columns, one
for counts or descriptive statistics, and one for
percentages
 The template uses (cellpadding=0) so the 2
columns appear as one continuous column

11. define col2/ display "Drug(N="
style(header)=[just=right]
style(column)=[just=d
cellwidth=8% ];
define col3/ display "~{nbspace1}A&n1)"
style(header)=[just=left]
style(column)=[just=d
cellwidth=8%
rightmargin=.3in];

12.  Adding blank spaces
col1=‘~_ ~_ ~_ ~_Males’;
col1=‘~{nbspace 4}Males’;
 Adding blank lines
col2=AESTDTC || ‘/~n || AEENDTC ;
col2=AESTDTC || ‘/~{newline 1}’|| AEENDTC;
