The Output Delivery System (ODS) was created to enable SAS customers to generate more reports with new features than could be generated via the old-fashioned listing output. Until ODS was released, the output from the SAS System was relegated to plain text and ASCII art drawings of tables. By using ODS, one can now create various types of output; for example, HTML, XML, PDF, PostScript, RTF, Microsoft Excel, and many more. The ODS is a great way to move beyond reports that just use the listing output. This paper tells what is needed to know to generate reports with ODS, from scratch.
