How to remove a page title and keep graph titles

Hi I was wondering if there is a way to remove a page title and keep graph titles in SAS when I create a PDF file containing several graphs.

I tried several different no title options in SAS, but they did not work..

If you run below code, you'll get a title of "title 4" in the second page and then you also get "title 4" for the graph itself.

I want to remove this page title or at least separately specify a page title from the graph titles.

Additionally, I know that I could use inset statement to avoid this problem, but I was wondering if we can separately specify page/graph titles or remove page titles all together..

data mydata;

var1=1;

var2=2;

run;

%macro pic;

%do i=1 %to 6;

proc sgplot data=mydata;

title "Title &i";

vbar var1 / response=var2;

run;

%end;

%mend;

ods pdf file = "C:\temp\test.pdf"

STARTPAGE=NEVER style=SASweb;

ods noproctitle;

%pic;

ods pdf close;

The ODS PDF option GTITLE may be what you are looking for. The titles in effect when a graph is created are placed in the graph area not the body. ODS PDF GTITLE File= " " etc.

A general comment: clear the titles at the end of a procedure unless you KNOW that you want them still active.

I almost always have "run;title; " at the end of most procs.

Hi ballardw, thanks for your response! I did not think of redefining blank title after every Run statement. That's a good idea and thanks again for your help!!
