{thispage} doesn't work for gplot/sgplot

Hi all,

I was wondering why the {thispage} doesn't work for gplot/sgplot.

I replaced the sgplot part with with proc print. It works. My SAS version is 9.3.

ods escapechar = '*';
ods rtf file = '1.rtf';
title1 j=c 'page *{thispage} of *{lastpage}';
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
scatter x=height y=weight / group=sex;
run;
ods rtf close;
run;

Thank you very much!

SGPLOT embeds the title in the graphics, while {thispage} is an RTF command.

Change the program so the titles are not embedded in the graphs using NOGTITLE on the ODS RTF statement.

ods escapechar = '*';
ods rtf file = 'temp1.rtf' nogtitle;
title1 j=c 'page *{thispage} of *{lastpage}';
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
scatter x=height y=weight / group=sex;
run;
ods rtf close;

Specify NOGTITLE on the ODS RTF statement so that the title is processed at the page level. Then, you should see the expected title.

ods rtf file = '1.rtf' nogtitle;

Hope this helps!
