Painting yourself in a corner with reporting printouts;                               \
                
                                                                                      \
 Two examples below                                                                   \
                
                                                                                      \
 Because Tabulate and Report do not honor ods output it is easy to                    \
 paint yourself in a corner.                                                          \
                
                                                                                      \
 You cannot change attributes for across variables in proc report.                    \
 Tabulate and report have limited qualities of programming languages.                 \
 Tabulate is especially problem some if you over-complicate the report.  
Sometimes you can send the printout to excel
then read it back in and fix it.     

As a side note, before ods, programmers would routinely send a report to a text file \
and read it back in to get out of jail.     I hope SAS fixes all the bugs in ODS \
                output.
