Selecting nodes displayed in TOC when using the page option in proc report (RTF)

cichonje — Thu, 29 Nov 2018 20:08:13 GMT

Hello,

I have been having an issue with controlling the nodes present in the TOC of SAS to RTF output. Specifically, for each table in my output I would only like 1 line in the TOC. I have read the discussion boards and I have tried using the contents = " " (quote-space-quote) or contents = "' (quote-quote) in the proc report statement as well as using ods proclabel. Please refer to the sample code below.

The TOC I am currently getting has 4 nodes in total. The first node is what I have set in the ods proclabel statement (i.e. "TABLE 1"). The second node is "Report". The third node is "dummy--col25" and the fourth node is "dummy-col35". Please refer to the photo below. I am not sure why I am getting the second node when I have set contents = " " and used ods proclabel. I believe I am getting node 3 and 4 because of the page option in the define statement for column col31 but I do not know how to suppress this.

Note: I am using the page option in the define statement for column col31 because I want col31-col35 to appear on a separate page.

options nodate nonumber nobyline;
ods listing close;
ods noresults;
ods proclabel = "TABLE 1";
ods escapechar = "~"; 
title; footnote;

title1 font = Calibri height = 10pt bold j = left "Title1";
title2 font = Calibri height = 10pt bold j = left "Title2" ;
title3 font = Calibri height = 10pt bold j = left "Title3" j = right "Title3.5";

footnote1 "~R'\brdrb\brdrs\brdrw8'";
footnote2 "Footnote1";
footnote3 "Footnote2";
footnote4 "Footnote3";
footnote5 "ProgramName" font = Calibri height = 10pt bold j = right "Page ~{thispage} of ~{lastpage}";

Hi:
You haven't provided any data or shown your ODS TAGSETS.RTF opening statement. In addition, you don't show what the values of the dummy variable are set to.
You might want to work with Tech Support on this. I'm not entirely sure that your 'old style' ~S and ~R escapechar controls will work with TAGSETS.RTF the way you want in 9.4. If that's working, then good, but otherwise, without data, nobody can run your code.
