Hello,
I have been having an issue with controlling the nodes present in the TOC of SAS to RTF output. Specifically, for each table in my output I would only like 1 line in the TOC. I have read the discussion boards and I have tried using the contents = " " (quote-space-quote) or contents = "' (quote-quote) in the proc report statement as well as using ods proclabel. Please refer to the sample code below.
The TOC I am currently getting has 4 nodes in total. The first node is what I have set in the ods proclabel statement (i.e. "TABLE 1"). The second node is "Report". The third node is "dummy--col25" and the fourth node is "dummy-col35". Please refer to the photo below. I am not sure why I am getting the second node when I have set contents = " " and used ods proclabel. I believe I am getting node 3 and 4 because of the page option in the define statement for column col31 but I do not know how to suppress this.

Note: I am using the page option in the define statement for column col31 because I want col31-col35 to appear on a separate page.
