Generating ODS Results
Generating ODS Results
The SAS Output Delivery System (ODS) is a powerful mechanism for generating reports in HTML,
RTF, PDF and other formats. ODS output is generally much more attractive and customizable than
plain-text SAS Listing output. In JMP 8, it is quite simple to request that your submitted SAS code
generate ODS results rather than SAS Listing output.
To generate ODS results from your submitted SAS code
1 Select File > Preferences (Windows/Linux) or JMP > Preferences (Macintosh).
2 Open the SAS Integration category and find the large SAS Submit Options group, as shown in
Figure 11.17.

3 Check the Automatically generate ODS results option.
4 From the ODS Result Format menu, select the format in which to generate the ODS results:
HTML, PDF, or RTF.
5 If desired, you can use other options in that section to specify a style or style sheet to be used to
format the results, or set the format for generated graphics. For more details, see “Specifying Settings
for SAS Integration,” p. 351 in the “Personalizing JMP” chapter.
Performing the previous steps causes JMP to generate additional SAS code, including an ODS
statement, that is wrapped around the SAS code you submit. The SAS code that you submit then
automatically generates ODS results in the specified format, and those results are downloaded to your
computer and displayed either within JMP, when possible, or in an appropriate external application.
Figure 11.18 shows SAS code that was submitted with preferences set to generate ODS results in
HTML format.
