This example illustrates a well-known use caseâa mail-merge where the requirement is to generate custom content for each defined subset of data, usually each observation. Such observations can be individual observations in a SAS data set or aggregated summary statistics for each value of a class variable. There are numerous other potential use cases that can be implemented using a comparable approach.
We will start with a simple example ...
