New Line in ODS RTF PRETEXT

[djbateman]

I am writing a report to an RTF file using ODS RTF.  I was using PDF, but it was decided that the client wanted RTF.  I am using a PRETEXT statement in PROC REPORT.  However, when I was using ODS PDF, I simply put "~n" to get a new line in the pretext text (where the tilda is my escapechar).  When I switch to RTF, that doesn't seem to work.  I just prints "~n" along with the regular text in a single line.  Is there something different I should be using?  I have tried /line/ and ~{newline}.  Neither seems to work.  Any ideas?

	/*****************************************/
	/***  Create the SAS log error report  ***/
	/*****************************************/
	ods escapechar='~';
	ods listing close;
	ods rtf file="&outputdir.\ZCHECKLOG.rtf" style=MonoChromePrinter;
		title1 h=0.5 j=l 'Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated' j=r 'Page ~{thispage}';
		proc report data=final_t center nowindows headline headskip spacing=1 split='^' missing
			style(header)={fontsize=9pt} style(report)={font=('Arial',9pt,bold italic) pretext="SAS Log Report for Directory ~n &logdir. ~n Run Date: &sysdate9."};
			column filename cat1 cat2 cat3 cat4 cat5;
			define filename / order order=data width=45 left "File Name";
			define cat1 / display center width=5 "Errors";
			define cat2 / display center width=5 "Warnings";
			define cat3 / display center width=5 "Uninitialized^Variables";
			define cat4 / display center width=5 "Merge^Notes";
			define cat5 / display center width=5 "Invalid^Data";
			compute cat1;
				if cat1>0 then call define(_col_,"style","style={background=red}");
			endcomp;
			compute cat2;
				if cat2>0 then call define(_col_,"style","style={background=red}");
			endcomp;
			compute cat3;
				if cat3>0 then call define(_col_,"style","style={background=yellow}");
			endcomp;
			compute cat4;
				if cat4>0 then call define(_col_,"style","style={background=yellow}");
			endcomp;
			compute cat5;
				if cat5>0 then call define(_col_,"style","style={background=yellow}");
			endcomp;
		run;
	ods rtf close;
	ods listing;

RTF commands start with backslash.  Try \line.

  style(report)={font=('Arial',9pt,bold italic)
        pretext="SAS Log Report for Directory{\line}&logdir.{\line}Run Date: &sysdate9."
       }

That did the trick!  There seem to be too many options.  I wish it was more consistent.  But thank you for your help!
