Suppress page breaks in ODS with gridded layout

PNA_NYK — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 06:04:30 GMT

If I make a gridded layout in ODS, I have problems controlling the page breaks. I have made a simplified piece of code that illustrates my problem, see below.

The gridded layout below makes 2 rows and 1 column.

Because row 2 takes up more than a whole page, a page break comes after row 1. But I would like to suppress this page break.

Does anybody know how to do that?

ods pdf file="C:\Temp\test.pdf" startpage=never;

ods layout gridded rows=2 columns=1;

ods region style=[backgroundcolor=#BDC3C7 font_size=20];

ods pdf text="Test header";

ods region;

proc print data=sashelp.class; run;

ods layout end;

If you precede every proc print with a "ods region;" statement you can get that. But I couldn't explain that from the theory 😉

ods pdf file="/tmp/test.pdf" startpage=never;
ods layout gridded rows=2 columns=1;

          ods region style=[backgroundcolor=#BDC3C7 font_size=20];
          ods pdf text="Test header" ;
          ods region ;

          proc print data=sashelp.class; run;
          ods region ;
          proc print data=sashelp.class; run;
          ods region ;
          proc print data=sashelp.class; run;
          ods region ;
          proc print data=sashelp.class; run;
          ods region ;
          proc print data=sashelp.class; run;
          ods region ;
          proc print data=sashelp.class; run;
          ods region ;
          proc print data=sashelp.class; run;

ods layout end;

How would you suppress page break here?

ods pdf file="/tmp/test.pdf" startpage=never;
ods layout gridded rows=2 columns=1;

          ods region style=[backgroundcolor=#BDC3C7 font_size=20];
          ods pdf text="Test header" ;

          ods region ;
          proc print data=sashelp.BWEIGHT (obs=200); run;

ods layout end;
