Problem printing the footnote outside the graph in each page

mnithinshetty — Tue, 05 May 2020 13:17:21 GMT

I am producing multiple page graph output using sgplot.means one graph output for each subject. I have around 210 pages of output. I am using ods rtf text= to print my titlte and footnotes. At the bottom of each page I get next page titles. In the next page I am not getting titles, looks like not enough space to do so.

I tried using footnote statement after sgplot procedure ,but it dint help. Is this something to do with ODS rtd statement. Please provide your input.

ods rtf file = "x..rtf" NOGTITLE NOGFOOTNOTE ;

ods graphics / reset width=9.8in height=5.0in ;

title1 h=8pt j=l "&__sponsor.";
title2 h=8pt j=l "&__protocol." ;

ods rtf text="(*ESC*)S={outputwidth=100% just=c}{&ttl1}";
ods rtf text="(*ESC*)S={outputwidth=100% just=c}{&ttl2. &popttl}";
ods rtf text="(*ESC*)S={outputwidth=100% just=c} {}";

/* title3 h=8pt bold font="Courier New" j=c "&ttl1";*/
/* title4 h=8pt bold font="Courier New" j=c "&ttl2. &popttl";*/
/* title5 h=8pt bold j=l " "; */

proc sgplot data=outdata(where=(ord=&i.)) dattrmap=zattrs pad=12%;
XXXXXX;
run;

ods rtf text="(*ESC*)S={outputwidth=100% just=l color=black}{&fnn1}";
ods rtf text="(*ESC*)S={outputwidth=100% just=l color=black}{&fnn2}";

Each call to ODS RTF Text is similar to a proc output. You need to control when new pages are are started/ ended and reset the ODS RTF STARTPAGE option. You may need to set it to "off" to end one block of output then to "now" to start a new block.

FOOTNOTE output has to be defined before or as part of procedure code to be associated with the procedure. If you do something like:

Title "Some text";

Proc sgplot;

run;

Footnote "this is a footnote";

the footnote will be associated with the NEXT procedure output.

To have the footnote part of the sgplot output:

Proc sgplot;

Footnote "Some footnote text";

run;

Due to the persistent nature of Title and Footnote you may want to be careful about resetting them AFTER the procedure.

ODS startpage OFF/NOW option worked. @ballardw Thank you so much for the input.
