ODS ANCHOR destination gets wrong containing a prefixed zero

deleted_user — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:10:00 GMT

Creates with proc report and ODS PDF a front page with a list of dataset names. Links are established from each dataset name to a page containing the content of each datasets created with proc report as well. In general this works fine, but not
if the dataset name has a prefixed zero somewhere in the string, like RECHBA01. The destination is created by ODS ANCHOR="RECHBA01".

In Adobe Professional the link is correct, but the destination is RECHBA1 and of course the link does not work. Have changed the link as well as the destination to contain a prefixed zero and this works. So it must be the ODS ANCHOR that passes wrong information about the destination.

Are there any fixes to that problem? The circumventions, to remove the 0 or alternatively changing the destination manually, does not solve the problem.

The Anchor error is found on Windows XP, SAS V9.1.3 Service Pack 4 and HP-UX, SAS V9.1.3, Service Pack 4.

Hi:
I am at SAS Global Forum right now and not on my machine. But I -do- have some memory of a Tech Support Note involving ANCHOR= and PDF.

For a quick response to this question, your best bet is to contact Tech Support.

I have a similar problem. I use Proc report to create TOC that has URL link to table within same PDF document using anchor= option. I use Do loop from 1 to 150 to set an incremental anchor for table created thru proc report ran within that loop.

Anchor works perfectly fine and create Url within TOC for anchors 1 thru 9 but does not create URL for 10th and after. It starts working again starting at 91st anchor till 99th anchor.

After lot of research found a documentation on SAA that says not all anchor values are valid. I am trying to understand why would anchor work for 1 to 9 and again 91 thru 99 and not work for any other values.

Is there a way to fix this problem? Can you please help.
