Unfortunately, SAS output is not that user-friendly and publication-ready, it is a very powerful software, though.When I perform ANOVA using PROC ANOVA or PROC GLM and add MEANS, the output ANOVA table is offered individually for each trait. When there are many traits and you want them in a single ANOVA table for submitting a paper you will find it very time consuming and error-prone copying and pasting them in a single table. The mean comparison table always has extra rows between treatments. Is there any clear codes to make SAS offer publication-ready table for ANOVA, let's say when there are four traits, viz trait1, trait2, trait3, trait4.
All the four traits in a single table, i.e. a table with headings:
S.O.V, df, MS of trait1, trait2, trait3, trait4. and asteric(*, **) sign or (ns) next to their mean of squares.
I have studied a lot of instructions about making SAS output publication-ready, but I was not very successful in making it do what exactly I wanted.
I will be very grateful if you kindly write the codes for the ANOVA publication-ready table having four traits mentioned above.
You should use the ODS OUTPUT to get the result from PROC ANOVA and then to create a table that you want to shown in you publication. Finally, use the PROC REPORT to output your table to .RTF file. The template name could be the Journal you wanna submit your paper or you can write a template you like. All these PROC statements could be check the guidelines from the official website!
Hope this helps!

In addition to Tao Bu's answer above, note that SAS also permits you to customize your output even further: For example:
ODS RTF file='C:\MyPath\MyProject\MyOutout.rtf' STYLE=Journal;
proc freq;
table (Var1 Var2)*Var3 /chisq cmh;
format Var1 Var2 fmt1f. Var3 fmt2f..;run;
ODS RTF Close;
I prefer pasting all tables needed into Microsoft Excel and arranges them properly.
Then the unnecessary rows or columns should be deleted. This process can be greatly facilitated by data sorting.
In addition, you can make publication-ready tables quickly by using Excel.
