SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference

Example 2: Using ODS with SAS/GRAPH

This example uses ODS to generate Web output. It produces a bar chart that shows sales figures for three sales regions. The GCHART procedure uses BY-group processing to generate a separate chart for each region.

The ODS HTML statement creates a body file and contents file, and uses a frame file to display the output. The NEWFILE= option is used to direct each output graph to its own GIF file. To see each graph, you select the reference to it in the Table of Contents, which is displayed in the left frame when you view file saleFram.htm in a browser.

In this example, the data and the output are kept simple so that you can focus on the code used in ODS processing. For more detailed examples, see the following:
