Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Data provided via the Internet today is no longer simply a value added product, it is often the only product. Besides being available to an infinitely expandable audience, it can have the advantages of speed, cost effectiveness, and flexibility. With minimal knowledge of SAS® ODS® it is possible to automate the distribution of standard data reports via the Internet. Routine summaries of dairy genetic evaluations, provided by the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory of USDA, demonstrate tools for Internet reporting using SAS® ODS®. Beginning with data preparation, basic ODS HTML, and PROC REPORT statements, reports can be enhanced with PROC TEMPLATE and additional HTML. Programs are automated using macros. Reports are integrated within a complete website and are accessible by search engines, while older versions are automatically archived.
