What is DDE – DDE Command
Doublet-Style DDE filereffilename sas2xl dde 'excel|system';
Triplet-Style DDE filereffilename recrange dde 'excel|[VBA.xls]sheet1!r4c1:r103c4' notab;
Difference of Doublet and Triplet reference nametriplet gets buffered during data step execution, and is only pumped through the DDE connection when the data _null_ step terminates. (example for CRFIMG)immediately passed on to Excelexample of ‘FLUSH’ statement

DDE and VBA
DDE work with X4ML not VBA
Can not write VBA macro directly into EXCEL;
Can open spreadsheets with VBA macros;
Can write X4ML into spread sheet then execute it;

Template and Pure Code for Output
Pure CodeGenerate all format and values with pure SAS code
More flexible (formats can automatically changed with titles, footers, columns etc.)
Require higher DDE skills
Require powerful macro supporting
More efficient with macros well prepared
TemplateCreate Template Manually
Insert data into template with SAS DDE code
Easier to be used
Workload can be distributed
Quicker under urgent situation
