Cannot get ODS startpage=new unless I remove BODYTITLE

spjcdc — Sat, 05 Mar 2016 01:02:49 GMT

I don't often output to RTF output, and perhaps this is an easy question, but I've written a program (attached) that output two tables to an RTF document. I have a ODS RTF STARTPAGE=NOW in the code to force a page-break between the two Proc Report outputs, but it doesn't work unless I take the BODYTITLE option out of the initial ODS RTF statement. Can someone explain to me why that happens and what I need to do to get it to work properly?

SAS 9.3 on Windows 7

Thanks so much,

Steve

Does this describe the problem you are having?

No, I get a syntax error.

6748 ods rtf startpage=proc ; * force a pagebreak ;

Thanks, but no. I'm not using ODS Select or Exclude.

I recommend writing a very small program, using either a SAS supplied data set or build one with a data step, and minimal code to provide an example of what happens with your system.

While it shouldn't be part of the problem, all of the style overrides and macro variables and no date make executing your code problematical for testing
