I have code as following, but second report TPL_SUMMARY_0500, nt the landscaping any more, even I set up the Landscspe as the option, therefor the out put looks very in consisitance.

options orientation=landscape center;
ods pdf file ="/export/TPL_Membership/Summary/test.pdf";
ods listing close;

%MACRO ABC (VAR);
PROC REPORT DATA=WORK.TPL_SUMMARY_&VAR;
COLUMN MONTH Category OVERALL_MEMBERSHIP TPL MEDICARE MEDICARE_SUPPLEMENTAL MEDICARE_A MEDICARE_B MEDICARE_AB MEDICARE_ADVANTAGE COMMERCIAL VISION DENTAL LIMITED_BENEFITS Casualty PHARMACY;

You do not show an ODS PDF CLOSE statement. Was there one in the actual program? If not you may have a previous version of the pdf file.

Without data it is hard to test what may be causing the change.

Try running this:

ods pdf file ="/export/TPL_Membership/Summary/test.pdf";

%ABC (VAR=0100);
%ABC (VAR=0100);

ods pdf close;

And see if both pages look the same. If so then there is something subtle in the data that likely means one or more of the columns wants just a little more room at which point the PDF generator splits off several columns to make a "nicer" report.

I know that generally if I want tables based on separate data sets to appear the same that I usually have to go into setting style overrides for each column to the width stays the same for each report call.

You might look at the Proc Contents results for your data sets and see if the lengths of the character variables are the same.

Maybe you need to reset it before applying it.


options orientation=landscape center;
ods pdf file ="/export/TPL_Membership/Summary/test.pdf";
%ABC (VAR=0100)

ods pdf;
options orientation=landscape center;
%ABC (VAR=0500)

ods pdf close;
