whitepaper The Beginners Guide to ODS MARKUP: Don't Panic!2006-12-22 01:00:22 SAS Institute
  The MARKUP destination is the most powerful Output Delivery System (ODS) destination. The ODS MARKUP statement can create a multitude of output file types from Comma Separated Values (CSV) to Compact HyperText Markup Language (cHTML), HTML 4.0, eXtensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML), LaTeX, and an endless variety of Extensible Markup Language (XML) flavors. It can also create Microsoft Excel output. This paper shows how easy it is to use this destination, and explains how it works.   
whitepaper SAS/AF, SAS/IntrNet and ODS: Automation of State Health Data Collection and Report Generation2006-12-27 01:00:56 SAS Institute
  The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System is a state based health information phone survey that has been collected since 1984 and is the largest continuously conducted telephone health survey in the world. The data is collected each month by each state and the District of Columbia and three US territories and uploaded to the CDC via the internet. Once the ASCII file or zipped ASCII file is detected, a SAS/AF application converts the ASCII file into a SAS data set and puts the file in the correct state folder. Once the updated data set is detected in the folder, a SAS/IntrNet application then runs a number of programs that generate data sets and reports.   
whitepaper DATALINES, Sequential Files, CSV, HTML and More - Using INFILE and INPUT Statements to Introduce External Data Into the SAS System2006-12-22 01:00:22 SAS Institute
  The SAS System has numerous capabilities to store, analyze, report, and present data. However, those features are useless unless that data is stored in, or can be accessed by, the SAS System. This paper is designed to review the INFILE and INPUT statements. It has been set up as a series of examples, each building on the other, rather than a mere recitation of the options as documented in the manual. These examples will include various data sources, including DATALINES, sequential files, CSV files, and HTML files.   
whitepaper ODS Statistical Graphics for Clinical Research2006-12-27 01:00:56 SAS Institute
  Graphical representations to illustrate the effects and safety of treatments are often more easily understood and remembered than tabular forms. Statistical graphics play an important role in clinical research. Beginning with SAS9, a number of SAS/STAT procedures can use the Output Delivery System (ODS) to create statistical graphics automatically. One can use the ODS Graphics Template Language (GTL) to generate statistical graphics of one's own layout design. This new facility which is referred to as ODS Statistical Graphics greatly enhances the ability to produce statistical graphs for clinical research. This paper describes how to create commonly used statistical graphs for clinical research using ODS Statistical Graphics.   
whitepaper SAS Blogging - Finding Resources & Sharing Information Outside of SAS Tech Support2006-12-27 01:00:56 SAS Institute
  A weblog, web log or simply a blog, is a web application which contains periodic posts on a common webpage. These posts are often, but not necessarily, in reverse chronological order. Such a website would typically be accessible to any Internet user. Blogs are used by individuals to express their opinions or by corporations internally to discuss topics and externally to share news. This paper provides tips and tricks to running a blog. Included in this paper are some ideas on what others will be looking for in a technical SAS blog.   
whitepaper Now - That's Your Style!!!!!2006-12-26 01:00:57 SAS Institute
  This paper discusses how to use styles to enhance output or to overcome problems that are frequently encountered using the Output Delivery System (ODS). Solutions to these problems involve methods that use styles and tagsets in the TEMPLATE procedure, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), scripting, the eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), and more. Other topics that are addressed include handling page breaks in HTML; preventing truncated printed HTML output; adding headers, footers, page margins, and repeating headers; printing in landscape with the ODS HTML destination; and fine-tuning the printed HTML.   
whitepaper Delivering Dynamic Content With the SAS Stored Process Web Application2006-12-26 01:00:57 SAS Institute
  Many Web developers are moving away from the CGI technology that was the basis for SAS/IntrNet toward Microsoft .NET or cross-platform Java Web Application. The SAS Stored Process Web Application, new in Version 9, can be used by developers with little or no Java programming experience; under some circumstances it can be used as a replacement for SAS/IntrNet. This paper introduces SAS Stored Processes, shows how they may be accessed from another application, such as Enterprise Guide and the Stored Process Web Application, and demonstrates a sample Web Application.   
whitepaper Teaching Your RTF Tagset to Do Clever Tricks2006-12-13 01:00:24 SAS Institute
  Using the new RTF Tagset with the ODS Markup destination in SAS 9.2 enables many controls and customizations that the traditional ODS RTF destination does not support. Explaining and describing the controls and processes can be confusing and pedantic. Therefore, this paper presents a simple comparison between the default RTF Tagset and an additional experimental sample RTF Tagset. The sample, which is provided by SAS, shows how to customize a tagset.   
whitepaper Better File Uploads With AJAX and JavaServer Faces2006-11-08 01:00:18 Sun Microsystems
  Browser-based file uploads, in particular those involving the HTML tag, have always been rather lacking. In an attempt to make uploading of files more user-friendly, many sites display an indeterminate progress animation (such as a rotating icon) once the user submits the file. Although this technique may be useful in keeping the user distracted while the upload being submitted to the server, it offers very little information on the status of the file upload. Another attempt at solving the problem is to implement an applet that uploads the file to the server through FTP. This paper offered some insight on how to make file uploads more user-friendly, and on the possibilities of combining AJAX and JavaServer Faces for advanced user interface components.   
whitepaper Web Design in a Nutshell: Cascading Style Sheets Fundamentals2006-02-01 O'Reilly Media
  Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a W3C standard for defining the presentation of web documents. Presentation refers to the way a document is displayed or delivered to the user, whether it's on a computer monitor, a cell phone display, or read aloud by a screen reader. This paper focuses primarily on the visual aspects of presentation, such as typography, colors, alignment, layout, and so on. CSS is the mechanism for providing these types of style instructions to elements in a document that has been marked up with XHTML, HTML, or any XML language. Most important, CSS keeps these presentation instructions separate from the content and its structural and semantic markup.
