Where is your Escapechar defined?

Which ODS destination are you sending the results to? The Page info only applies to a few destinations.

The square boxes typically mean that there is a character in the output that does not have a corresponding one in the Font used.

What is your destination ? RTF or PDF ? Post all your code.

If it was RTF , no problem. NOTE: don't use BODYTITLE

ods escapechar='^';

footnote J=Right font =Arial  HEIGHT=8pt 'xxx^{thispage}/^{lastpage}yyyy';
footnote2 J=l font =Arial  HEIGHT=8pt 'xxx^{pageof}yyyy';

ods rtf file='c:\temp\temp.rtf'  ;
proc print data=sashelp.heart(obs=100);run;

ods rtf close;

If it was PDF ,still no problem.

Hi:
This is a long shot, but are you by any chance creating graphics in the same job where you are using the ODS ESCAPECHAR for page numbering?

This Tech Support note mentions the garbled text: https://support.sas.com/kb/56/041.html and this might also apply: https://support.sas.com/kb/33/986.html .

Hope this helps,
Cynthia

Hi:
If the fix for printerpath didn't fix the issue, then Tech Support is probably your best resource to find out whether there is a workaround available. The interaction with ODS ESCAPECHAR, PDF and images has been around for a while and honestly, because of the issue, I have just always avoided using them together. So I don't know of a way around it.
