Difference between absolute and gridded ods layout

[kingCobra]

Hi,

Can anyone direct me to papers/tipsheet where I can found practical example to differentiate between absolute and gridded ods layout?

Absolute layout is better for one page outputs and gridded layout is better for multipage output. Apart from this I'm not very clear about the differences.

Secondly, is ODS LAYOUT ABSOLUTE/ GRIDDED has been replaced by ODS LAYOUT START in SAS 9.4? How does ODS LAYOUT START understand whether the user wants an absolute or a gridded layout?
