Dear all,

I have this code

ods region;
title1 h=8pt color=dimgray "Baseball players";
title3 h=6pt color=dimgray "players by league";

ods pdf file="test.pdf" startpage=never style=journal;  

ods layout gridded  columns=2 rows=2 advance=proc column_gutter=0.1in row_gutter=0.1in;
ods graphics / width=3.5in noborder;

title3 " ";
title1 " ";
 proc sgplot data=sashelp.baseball;
 where league = "American";
 vbar team / response=nruns group=division;
 run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.baseball;
 where league = "American";
 vbar team / response=nruns group=division;
 run;

ods layout end;

ods region;
ods graphics / width=3.5in  noborder ;
ods layout gridded columns=2 rows=2 advance=proc column_gutter=0.1in row_gutter=0.1in;


proc sgplot data=sashelp.baseball;
 where div = "NE";
 vbar team / response=nruns group=division;
 run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.baseball;
 where div = "NW";
 vbar team / response=nruns group=division;
 run;
ods layout end;

ods pdf close;

and wish to remove the title (the title should be on the first page but not on the second page) from the second page. I don't really know my this is not working. Please help

When I run your code there is only one page created so I do not understand your comment about pages.

Perhaps you may not be clear on what Startpage=never does.

NEVER
specifies not to insert page breaks, even before graphics procedures.

There would also tend to be interactions with layout instructions. I won't claim to be an expert on those as I don't use PDF very often.

To clear titles you use something like

title;

If you provide a value in quotes then you create title of blanks, you don't clear them. The above will clear the title1 and all higher numbered title lines. You do not need to address each title to clear it. Example: Title3; would clear title lines 3 through 10, if present but leave 1 and 2 alone.

I have two pages. I just wanted to leave the title in page 1 and delete it from page2 but it doesn't even work with title;
as you suggested.
All the way, thankyou.

Still don't see how you get two pages.

Easiest may be to use either ODS TEXT or possibly Proc ODSTEXT to place text when wanted instead of title statements.

Ods text='Line of text';
