How to set up page brake using ods pdf

[feierfly]

I used the folowing code to have pdf output containing both tables and graphs.

goptions device=png;

ods pdf file="&Drive./Output.pdf" STARTPAGE= NEVER;

The STARTPAGE= NEVER options works fine with tables but the graph is overlaped.

Any ideas on solving this?

Thank you!

You would have to show the entire program between the ODS PDF and ODS PDF Close statements to diagnose something like this. But likely you need to insert an ODS PDF startpage=now; before the graphics and possibly startpage = yes if there are more than one graphs generated.

Hi Ballardw,

I did tried your suggestion by adding ODS PDF startpage=now; in form of the graph. However seems not work. The full code is attached below.

if 0 then set Eventdir.Group_list nobs=n;

call symputx('nrows',n);stop; run;

Please provide details of "seems not to work". No output? Unexpected output? or what. I suspect in this case it is that the first two tables no longer appear on the same page. If so say so.

Since I do not see an ODS PDF Close anywhere I suspect your program is incomplete. There is chance that the previous document did not get replaced yet.

Also I do not see the Startpage=never. If the "not working" is the tables appearing on separate pages it is because this is missing. You mix in the Startpage = never, Startpage=now and such as needed in the body of the program

Here are a couple of suggestions. First ignore the macro. Write the code for one set of tables and the graph.

Then run as this skeleton:

ods pdf file="some file goes here" startpage=never;

proc report ....

proc print ....

ods pdf startpage=now;

proc gbarline ...

ods pdf close;

Then see how that works. Get this working before attempting to loop the code.

Since you have a macro %_eg_conditional_dropds(WORK.SORTTempTableSorted); that is not defined in the code I have no idea what impact that might have.

Hi ballardw, Thanks for replying.

I updted the code as below. The pdf output remains the same: The tables works good without pagebreak between them. But the graph still overlaped on the tables as the screenshot I attached before.

%LET DSID=%SYSFUNC(OPEN(Eventdir.range,IN));

%LET NOBS=%SYSFUNC(ATTRN(&DSID,NOBS));

proc sql; create table Eventdir.Group_list as select distinct Group from Eventdir.range; quit;

data Eventdir.Group_list; set Eventdir.Group_list; id=_n_;run;

%put _n_;

data _NULL_;

if 0 then set Eventdir.Group_list nobs=n;

call symputx('nrows',n);stop; run;

%DO I=1 %TO &nrows;

proc sql noprint; select distinct Group into :Group_macro from Eventdir.Group_list where id=&I.;quit;

%put &Group_macro;
