How to set up page brake using ods pdf

[feierfly]

Hi, I used the folowing code to generage pdf output containing both tables and graphs. The STARTPAGE= NEVER options works for tables as there are no page breaks between tables but the graph is overlaped on the table. Any ideas on solving this?

%Macro LOOP_OUTPUT;

　

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

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

%IF &DSID > 0 %THEN %LET RC=%SYSFUNC(CLOSE(&DSID));

%IF NOBS>0 %THEN %DO;

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;

%put "**********************************************************";

%put I_&I.;

%put "**********************************************************";

proc sql;

create table Eventdir.ORange_&I as

select * from Eventdir.range

where Group="&Group_macro" ;

quit;

　

proc sql;

create table Eventdir.OEstimate_&I as

select * from Eventdir.Estimate

where Group="&Group_macro" ;

quit;

　

goptions device=png;

ods pdf file="&Drive./Output" startpage=never;

proc report data=Eventdir.ORange_&I nowd; title "&Title Range";

compute result;

if strip(result)='Out of Rang -Red' then do;

call define(4, "style", "style=[backgroundcolor=red]");

call define(_row_, "style", "style=[backgroundcolor=red]");

end;

if strip(result)='Out of Rang -Yellow' then do;

call define(4, "style", "style=[backgroundcolor=yellow]");

call define(12, "style", "style=[backgroundcolor=yellow]");

end;

endcomp;

run;

proc print data=Eventdir.OEstimate_&I;title "&Title Estimate";

run;

/* %XLS_EXPORT ( Eventdir.Output, "&supdata.&Group_macro._NESTED_ACC_SUPP.xlsx", "&Group_macro.");*/

How does this differ from: https://communities.sas.com/t5/Base-SAS-Programming/How-to-set-up-page-brake-using-ods-pdf/m-p/31936... ?

Have you tried doing this for one set of output with NO macros involved?

See if this code generates a document with two tables on one page and a graph on the second.

ods pdf file="c:\example.pdf"
style=meadow;
ods pdf startpage=no;
proc freq data=sashelp.class;
   tables age;
run;

proc means data=sashelp.class;
   var height weight;
run;

ods pdf startpage=now;
proc gplot data=sashelp.class;
   plot height*weight;
run;
quit;

ods pdf close;

If not, then there may be much sleuthing to find what you may be setting somewhere that interferes.
