1. Using ODS Regions to Create Custom Reports Kate Morrow, M.S. Statistician Vermont Oxford Network, Burlington, VT

2. Background Vermont Oxford Network is a non-profit membership organization of hospitals with neonatal intensive care units The Network has over 900 members worldwide Reporting team was asked to produce a concise and attractive data report for members ODS was used to pull together several different objects created in SAS to output a cohesive report The code presented is meant to provide a template for reports that can be easily modified as needed

3. ODS Setup ods escapechar='^'; *For use in inline formatting; ods listing close; *Turn the listing output off; ods pdf file=“.pdf" notoc uniform style=journal; *Output file (notoc=No table of contents in PDF, uniform=Keeps the width of output tables constant across pages); %annomac; *Compiles Annotate macros; options nodate nonumber orientation=landscape; ods layout start width=11 in height=8.5 in; *Page Size;

5. 1. ODS PDF Text goptions reset=all transparency; *Transparency removes the background color from the text box.; ods region width=2.1 in height=8 in x=25 y=100; *The width and height statements determine the size of the space allotted for the ‘object’ (here a line of text). The x and y statements determine placement on the page. (0,0) denotes the upper left corner.; ods pdf text="^S={just=l font=('Helvetica', 14pt)}Sparklines are shown by overlaying plots on empty columns in proc repot. ^n^n^nThe sparklines depict the rates for a hospital in a given quarter (green dots) compared to network first and third quartiles (grey bar upper and lower limits) and averages (black line). ^n^n^nThis report combines text, shapes, tables, graphs, and images. ODS Region allows you to do truly custom reporting."; *S={} is the style statement justifying the text to the left and determining the ‘font’, font size, and style.; *^n uses ODS ESCHAPECHAR to break to a new line.;

6. 2. Lines and Shapes Lines ods region width=10.5 in height=8.5 in x=0 y=55; data annolines; length function color $10; retain xsys ysys '5'; * Syntax for the LINE macro; *LINE (x1, y1, x2, y2, color, line_type, size); %line(0,100,100,100,vig,1,2) run; proc gslide anno=annolines; * Use the annotate data set; run; quit; *proc gslide uses the annotate data set and draws the line based on the data on the page; Shapes ods region width=2.4 in height=8 in x=0 y=55; *Because the object is a box, it will fill the entire 2.4inx8in space.; goptions reset=all; goptions cback=CXE2E2E2; *Custom color in RBG format.; proc gslide; run; quit; *Draws the box.;
