Adding a letter to generate ahead of a report.

[Rosenda]

Hi All,

I would like to add a letter(about a page)the contains information about the report to print before the report. I have been given a the idea to insert it as the title. I am not sure if there is an easier way. I am also running into the problem that I can only number the titles 1-10.

Title;
Title1 "text";
Title2 "text";
etc........

I am very new to SAS and appreciate any help I can get.

You'd be better off using a dataset containing the data and using Proc Report, or alternatively a "data _null_" step with put statements to write out your letter. ie

data _null_;
  file print;

  put "The following report contains information about...";
  put "blah blah blah";
  put "blah";
  put "blah blah blah blah";

run;

using "file print" will write out to the output file (.lst) and/or any open ODS destination.

I hope this helps.
