SGPANEL Causing Blank Page in ODS PDF

ShaneRosanbalm — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 11:21:10 GMT

I am using ODS PDF to capture SGPANEL output. There are too many rows to fit on a single page (15), so I am using ROWS=5 to split the output across 3 pages.

ods pdf file="&path/changes.pdf";

proc sgpanel data=sc00;
   panelby function monthyear / columns=3 rows=5 novarname;
   series y=ratiofirst x=snapshotdt;
   series y=ratioprev x=snapshotdt;
   rowaxis display=(nolabel) refticks;
   colaxis display=(nolabel) refticks;
run;

ods pdf close;

The first 2 pages of output are fine, but the 3rd page contains only a title.

Then there is a 4th page that has a double-title (one in the image, one above the image).

This is very mysterious! Any help is greatly appreciated. Complete code and output are attached. I am using 9.4m4.

You need to show the rest of the code, titles and such like. I would guess that either you have a title statement and an odstext, or a title and a by line or something along those lines. You can tun off byline with:

options nobyline;

Also, maybe check where titles are being stored,:

So maybe:

ods pdf file=".." nogtitle;

Just guessing from what you posted here.

@RW9, thanks for the reply.

>> You need to show the rest of the code, titles and such like.

Complete code was included in the attached ZIP file. I thought it would clutter things if I included the full code in the body. I'll just post full code in the body next time.

I tried NOGTITLE but got the same thing as before.

SOLUTION:

Reducing the HEIGHT from 10.5 to 10.0 seemed to work (with or without NOGTITLE).
