Question

Which statement is false concerning the options for the ODS statement?

a. The STYLE= option names the desired font.
b. The FILE= option specifies the output file to create.
c. The STARTPAGE= option controls the behavior of page breaks.
d. The PDFTOC= option controls the level of the expansion of the table of contents in PDF documents.

Answer 1

The false statement is d. The PDFTOC= option specifies whether a table of contents is included in PDF documents produced by ODS, not the level of its expansion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which statement is false concerning the options for the ODS (Output Delivery System) statement in SAS programming. Answer options a, b, and c all correspond to valid ODS statement options: a allows you to specify the style template for the ODS output; b allows you to specify the output file to create with the FILE= option; and c is the STARTPAGE= option for controlling page breaks in the created documents.

However, d, the PDFTOC= option, is incorrect because it does not control the level of expansion but rather whether a table of contents is included in a PDF document created with ODS. The PDFTOC= option specifies whether a table of contents is generated (PDFTOC=), not the level of its expansion.
