How to only show table header in the first page on ODS RTF from Proc Report

Hi,

I am using proc report and ODS RTF to report a table. When there are more than two pages, the table header on the pages except the first page can not be altered. I am wondering if there is any option to allow us to do that.

Example:

These codes will generate a RTF file with column " Smoking", the table header "Smoking" is shown on every page. I just want it appears only on the first page. Any idea?

ods rtf file="testRTF.rtf";

proc report data=sashelp.heart(obs=100) nowd

style(report) = {cellpadding = 1.25pt cellspacing = 2pt frame = hsides rules = groups just=center};

column smoking;

define smoking/ display order=data;

run;

ods rtf close;

thanks,

Unless you have a multitude of tables you need this for it may be easier to turn off the "Repeat Header Rows" in Word (currently buried in Table >Layout), or equivalent in other viewrs.

It may be possible to find the RTF codes for that but incorporating that code may be quite a chore.

Somehow if replace "ods rtf" with "ods tagsets.rtf" will solve the issue, but the report will be slightly differently with other functions, such as title or footnote.
