ODS POWERPOINT PAGE BREAKS

[david_holt]

I am using Enterprise Guide 7.1 with SAS 9.4 M3 on LINUX. I am trying to dynamically build a set of three slides for each system in the data to be reported on. The logic goes like this...

options nocenter papersize(14in 6.35in);

Proc Format;

<Custom style info based on POWERPOINT styles>

run;  /*This part works*/

PROC SQL NOPRINT;

Select count(unique Name) into :cnt from <table>;

select disctint name into :nams separated by '.' from <table>;

quit;

ODS HTML CLOSE;

ODS POWERPOINT FILE=<MY FILE INFO> STYLE=<MY STYLE DEFINED ABOVE>;

%for (i=1 %to &cnt;&i++) %do;

nme=%QScan(&nams,&i,%str(.));

ods layout gridded;

ods region;

%slide1(nme);

ods powerpoint style=<mystyle>;

ods region;

%slide2(nme);

ods powerpoint style=<mystyle>; 

ods region;

%slide3(nme);

ODS LAYOUT END;

ODS POWERPOINT STYLE=<MYSTYLE>;

%END; /*LOOP*/

ODS _ALL_ CLOSE;

The individual slides are created with the correct style but the content is all jumbled up on slide 2 through the end. The content is not being placed on the designated slide and it's not where I want it. Any Idea's?

I think you should ask Tech Support for help with this problem. They'll probably need to see your entire program to be able to make suggestions.

Thanks! And I am checking with SAS Tech support now. I am investigating the use of the DCL ODSOUT OBJ(); method of placing objects on the slide as per their suggestion.
