Hi:
Specifically, how would you want to change this output???? When I run these programs and switch columns= in between steps, I get the output I expect. If you want more control over the layout of your columns or regions, you might want to investigate ODS LAYOUT.
This paper talks about COLUMNS= and ODS LAYOUT.
