Attention : This code requires administrator privileges.
The script begins by using `PROC TEMPLATE` with the `LIST STYLES` statement to directly display in the SAS© log the list of all registered ODS (Output Delivery System) styles. This method is quick for visual consultation. Next, the script uses `PROC SQL` to query the system table `DICTIONARY.STYLES`. This table provides a structured view of style-related metadata, allowing for finer extraction and analysis of style names, potentially for programmatic use or to verify the properties of available styles. The entire script is compatible with SAS© Viya™ 4 and SAS© Studio.
Data Analysis
Type : CREATION_INTERNE
The data used is internal SAS metadata regarding ODS styles. It is generated by SAS itself via `PROC TEMPLATE` and exposed by the system table `DICTIONARY.STYLES`, which does not require the creation or access to specific external data.
1 Code Block
PROC TEMPLATE
Explanation :
This block uses the `PROC TEMPLATE` procedure to list all registered ODS (Output Delivery System) styles available in the SAS environment. The `LIST STYLES` statement sends the list of style names directly to the SAS log. This approach is useful for a quick and informal check of styles without creating intermediate data.

2 Code Block
PROC SQL
Explanation :
This block uses the `PROC SQL` procedure to query the system table `DICTIONARY.STYLES`. This table contains metadata about all ODS styles, including their names. Executing this query allows obtaining this information in table form, which is particularly useful for in-depth analysis, for integrating style names into other SAS processes, or for generating dynamic reports on available styles.
