Starting in SAS 8.2, the Output Delivery System (ODS) and SAS/GRAPH have been able to create business reports for HTML, PDF, printer, and other destinations. With SAS 9.1.3, various enhancements such as use of styles with client devices, new procedures like GBARLINE, and enhancements to ODS, and base procedures allowed for easier and higher-quality reports. Now, SAS 9.2 supports TrueType fonts, graph styles for all graph devices, tighter integration of ODS and graphics, and support of thousands of colors. This results in superior-quality reports with less coding. An example of business reports using Base SAS and SAS/GRAPH procedures and ODS will be shown in the three releases, highlighting improved quality of the reports and increasing ease of use.
