Understanding the tagset

• Tagsets is SAS code processed by PROC TEMPLATE
  procedure. But they are not performing like style
  templates statements in PROC TEMPLATE.
• The tagsets code primarily consists of data,
  events and triggered by events.
• Through tagsets, we can produce EXCEL, HTML, XML
  or RTF files.

Conclusion

• Drived by EVENTS, quite different with
  traditional SAS programming.
• ODS TAGSETS give SAS programmer much more power
  to create report than just use of STYLE.
• Need to know specific tagsets languages, like
  HTML, XML or RTF.
