Modify footnote by page number.

sascode — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 17:33:11 GMT

Hello,
I am running a proc report in pdf with 2 footnotes which generates 3 pdf pages.

on of the footnotes(footnote1) is just saying: "Look to the next page"

In the last pdf page i need to turn it off because it tis the last one.

So my question is :
How we can make the footnote1 to appear and disappear based on pdf page numbers?

Thank you.

Please include at least the code you are currently using.

Footnotes generally don't change in the middle of a procedure if using FOOTNOTE statements. If using one of the other possible approaches we need to see what you actually are attempting.

Do you have a variable, or combination thereof, that controls where your table creates a page break?

I don't think you can. What you can do is this:

ods escapechar='^';

Footnote '^{pageof}';

which should give you a footnote like 'Page 3 of 7'.

This should work in destinations like RTF and PDF, but not in the normal listing destination.
