Hi:
It is true that the SKIP option does not work with ODS in the manner that it works with LISTING.
However, you CAN use a LINE statement with ODS and PROC REPORT to accomplish the same thing that SKIP does. Relevant code snippet below.
(PS: WIDTH= is also ignored by ODS ... see this link for more "workarounds" for LISTING options that are not used by ODS (such as HEADLINE, WIDTH, etc)
