EG builds tasks, while SAS runs them
EG accepts various formats, e.g. *.xls
Programming is done by “Point and Click” and
“Drag and Drop”

• Run corr748re_html.sas
• Look at the 3 lines creating output delivery
system (ODS)
• Look at the output created by corr748re…
• Let us look at test_html.sas program
Generating HTML Without EG
• Let us Look at the second examples on
how to produce HTML output using SAS
only
• Run ods_html.sas program
• Save the output as SASoutput.mht
• Close sas, open SASoutput.mht and print
SASoutput.mht
