When you use these attributes in this location, they affect only the text that is specified with the PRETEXT=, POSTTEXT=,
PREHTML=, and POSTHTML= attributes. To alter the foreground color or the font for the text that appears in the table, you must set
the corresponding attribute in a location that affects the cells rather than the table. For complete documentation about style attributes
and their values, see Chapter 12, “Style Attributes,” on page 993.
Using Styles with Base SAS Procedures
Most Base SAS procedures that support ODS use one or more table templates to produce
output objects. These table templates include templates for table elements: columns,
headers, and footers. Each table element can specify the use of one or more style
elements for various parts of the output. These style elements cannot be specified within
the syntax of the procedure, but you can use customized styles for the ODS destinations
that you use. For more information about customizing tables and styles, see
“TEMPLATE Procedure: Creating a Style Template” in SAS Output Delivery System:
Procedures Guide.
The Base SAS reporting procedures, PROC PRINT, PROC REPORT, and PROC
TABULATE, enable you to quickly analyze your data and organize it into easy-to-read
tables. You can use the STYLE= option with these procedure statements to modify the
appearance of your report. The STYLE= option enables you to make changes in sections
of output without changing the default style for all of the output. You can customize
specific sections of procedure output by specifying the STYLE= option in specific
statements within the procedure.
The following program uses the STYLE= option to create the background colors in the
PROC REPORT output below:
title "Height and Weight by Gender and Age";
proc report nowd data=sashelp.class
style(header)=[background=white];
col age (('Gender' sex),(weight height));
define age / style(header)=[background=lightgreen];
define sex / across style(header)=[background=yellow] ' ';
define weight / style(header)=[background=orange];
define height / style(header)=[background=tan];
run;

TABULATE output below:
proc sort data=sashelp.prdsale out=prdsale;
