This paper describes a customized information delivery system using ODS HTML. The challenge that spawned this was to automate delivery of a number of static SAS®-generated reports via a corporate intranet. ODS HTML appeared to be the obvious solution, yet -- as is often the case with obvious solutions -- it failed to address many of our business requirements. These requirements included compliance with existing standards for the look and feel of reports, control over who had access to various levels of reports, and print and export functionality. We took advantage of PROC TEMPLATE, ODS HTML, PROC REPORT and the creation of an Excel spreadsheet containing an external Table of Contents to accommodate these requirements. In doing so, we developed a highly customized but fully automated report delivery application.
