ODS HTML Output ods html body="D:\projects\workshops\SAS_ODS\leprechauns.html"; proc print data=leprechauns; run; proc means data=leprechauns; var height gold; run; ods html close;

SAS HTML Output (with frames)

ods html path="D:\projects\workshops\SAS_ODS\“/* output files path */ body="leprechauns_body.html" /* body */ contents="leprechauns_contents.html“ /* table of contents */ frame="leprechauns_frame.html" /* main webpage */ page="leprechauns_page.html“ /* table of pages */ base=“ URL prefix (optional) */ proc print data=leprechauns; run; proc means data=leprechauns; var height gold; run; ods html close;
