Hi,

I am generating output as text file, could someone help me with options how to avoid the up arrow shown in below image. I know when the data starts in next page this arrow is coming.

I am using proc report to generate text file.

Thanks & regards,

vnreddy

And what program are you using to view that text file? That might be a "feature" of that program indicating a "continued from previous page" or similar.

Try adding this before your PROC REPORT step, or on the PROC statement itself, to set the page size to be as large as possible.

options ps=max;
