remove the blank line between the titile and talbe

deleted_user — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 02:26:38 GMT

By default, there is always a blank line between the title and table of RTF output (so are other ODS destinations), but it is not necessary in my report. So, how can I remove the blank line vis proc template or other ways?

In order to not have a blank line,
instead of using the option bodytitle with title="Table i - Results...",
use the ods rtf text="^S={font_size=11pt font_face='Times New Roman' FONT_SIZE = 11pt FONT_WEIGHT = bold FONT_STYLE = italic}
Table i - Results..." columns=1;

This works really well for titles that are on the first page of a table created by proc report.

I want to repeat the title on each page with no gap between title and table for tables that have multiple pages generated by a proc report. how would I do this? ( we are currently on SAS 9.1.3) Message was edited by: BrianH

Hi Cynthia,

Is it possible to remove the blank line between titles and the output of proc report on all pages? Title statement used to output title, proc report to generate a table and output using ODS RTF

Hi:
IF you are running SAS 9.2 and IF you switch from "older" ODS RTF to the new ODS TAGSETS.RTF, then there is a style element called "PARSKIP" that works to either expand or reduce the amount of space before/after tables. The smallest value you can specify for PARSKIP style element is 1pt.

PARSKIP is explained here.
http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/new92/92measuredrtf.html

When I tried this code in SAS 9.2 (modified from the above site), I had the SAS title sitting right on top of the table. Even though the example uses PROC PRINT, the style template used would work the same for any procedure.
