PROC DOCUMENT: does REPLAYing individual entries result in an automatic PAGEBREAK?

Hello,

When I replay all content in a catalog my pagebreak=no is being honoured. However when I specifty individual REPLAY statements it seems that each REPLAY statement is adding a PAGEBREAK.

ods document name=test(write);

PROC ODSTEXT contents=" " pagebreak=no;
p "header1"; 
RUN;

PROC ODSTEXT contents=" " pagebreak=no;
p "header2"; 
RUN;
ods document close;


proc document name=test;
list / levels=all details;
replay;
run;
quit;

proc document name=test;
replay \ODSText#1\TextBlock#1;
replay \ODSText#2\TextBlock#1;
run;
quit;

Running this code results in this. Notice, no page break in the first proc document. The second proc document results in a pagebreak between the two items. Any ideas very welcome!

kind regards,

Richard

oops well this is embarrassing. When all else fails read the manual....

There is an initial page break for each destination for each use of the REPLAY statement. There might be subsequent page breaks depending on the destination and the output being generated.

So the answer to my problem is very simple -

proc document name=test; replay \ODSText#1\TextBlock#1, \ODSText#2\TextBlock#1; run; quit;
