How can i get the footnote in last in the pdf file

[Iramesh]

using text= option in ods pdf statement i got it in last page, but some times is displayed on next page ( i.e, not in the last page).

If you are using PROC REPORT, I would suggest using COMPUTE AFTER logic with a LINE statement, or POSTTEXT like the sample code below shows.  If you are not using REPORT, you can use PROC TEMPLATE to get similar results.

Notes/Caveats:

• pagination on the last page is NOT guaranteed, since observation counts can make this text flow to the next page.
• using POSTTEXT works on a TABLE basis, so if your PROC step paginates (PRINT/PAGEBY or REPORT with BY or break after group_order_var_here / page;) then the POSTTEXT text will repeat on each of these pages (ie TABLEs).
• only footnotes will sit at the very bottom of the PDF page. Newline or other inline commands can be used to move other text "down" on the page, but this will require knowing how many observations are on the last page.

If you have followup questions, please email them to support@sas.com with your LOG and PDF file and we'll be happy to investigate further.
