Could any of you give me a hint as how to get rid of PDF file child bookmark as "DATA SET SASHELP.CLASS" which can be seen from the pdf file printed by codes below. I have tried hard and referenced quite lot of ODS PDF related user guide, it seems to be no good way to do so. Many thanks in advance.

ODS LISTING CLOSE;
ODS PDF FILE = "c:\temp\class.pdf" BOOKMARKLIST = HIDE;
ODS PROCLABEL "This bookmark I need";

Proc print data=sashelp.class;

run;

ODS _ALL_ CLOSE;

Hi:
Try using the CONTENTS= option on the PROC PRINT statement:
[pre]
ODS LISTING CLOSE;
ODS PDF FILE = "c:\temp\class.pdf"
BOOKMARKLIST = HIDE;
ODS PROCLABEL "Proc Print Node";

Proc print data=sashelp.class
contents="This bookmark I need";
run;

ODS _ALL_ CLOSE;
[/pre]

Which does not get rid of the 2nd node, but does effectively allow you to give it the bookmark text you want.
The use of CONTENTS=' ' (quote blank quote) will get rid of any text, but not the node itself.

ODS DOCUMENT and PROC DOCUMENT also give you a way to rearrange and replay your ODS output objects so that the TOC/bookmark area has any structure you want.

Or, you could check Tech Support for the Template FAQ to investigate changing the style template, which in some instances gives you a certain amount of control over the Table of Contents/Bookmark text.

Hi

Many thanks for your suggestions though my ultimate goal is to simply get rid of the 2nd node.

Hi:
To accomplish that, I'd recommend using ODS DOCUMENT and the DOCUMENT window.
