ODS RTF Separate document header and table title

[snakes]

Hi,

I am using proc template to generate a systemtitle with preimage and pretext. This is the header for the complete document. 

proc template;
define style Styles.Custom_nl;
parent = Styles.Printer;
 
style Body from Defaults/
  topmargin=0.6in
  leftmargin=0.6in
  rightmargin=0.6in 
  just = center
;
 
replace fonts /
'TitleFont' = ("Segoe UI",12pt,Bold) /* Titles from TITLE statements */
'TitleFont2' = ("Segoe UI",10pt,Bold ) /* Proc titles ("The XX Procedure")*/
'headingFont' = ("Segoe UI",10pt,Bold) /* Table column and row headings */
'docFont' = ("Segoe UI",8pt) /* Data in table cells */
'footFont' = ("Segoe UI",8pt) /* Footnotes from FOOTNOTE statements */;
 
replace color_list /
'bgH' = cx9C1B3A /* row and column header background */
'bgT' = white /* table background */
'bgD' = white /* data cell background */
'fg1' = black /* text color */
'fg2' = white 
'bg' = white; /* page background color */
 
replace Table from Output /
frame = box /* outside borders: void, box, above/below, vsides/hsides, lhs/rhs */
rules = all /* internal borders: none, all, cols, rows, groups */
cellpadding = 4pt /* the space between table cell contents and the cell border */
cellspacing = 0.25pt /* the space between table cells, allows background to show */
borderwidth = 0.25pt /* the width of the borders and rules */ 
background = color_list('bgT') ;
 
 
style header /
	background = cx9C1B3A
	foreground = white 
	font = fonts("Headingfont") 
	font_weight = bold;
 
 
Style systemtitle from TitlesAndFooters /
font = fonts("TitleFont")
cellpadding = 0
cellspacing = 0
preimage = "logo.png" 
pretext = ' My header '
;
 
Style PageNo from TitlesAndFooters /
font = fonts("footFont")
cellpadding = 0
cellspacing = 0
pretext = "Page "
just=r
vjust=b;
 
/* style SystemFooter from SystemFooter /*/
/* font = fonts("footFont");*/
 
style rowheader from header;
 
end;
run;

When I use the title for my table it get added to the header of the document instead of forming a header in the document. 

options  papersize=A4 nodate orientation=landscape center;
ods rtf file = 'doc.rtf' style= Custom_nl;
title 'Boys';
proc print data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='M'));
run;
title 'Girls';
proc print data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='F'));
run;
ods rtf close;

The result is the following.

I would like to have the following as the results where my title is not a part of the header of the document.

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

To move the header into the body of the document, add the BODYTITLE option as follows:

ods rtf file = 'doc.rtf' style= Custom_nl bodytitle;

To get a line break between the PRETEXT and the TITLE text, you can add ^n either after PRETEXT or in the TITLE statement as follows:

ods escapechar='^';
ods rtf file = 'doc.rtf' style= Custom_nl bodytitle;
title '^n Boys';

Thanks Kathryn,

The issue here is not the new line but separating the header of the document from the title of the table. Is there a way that the title is not added to the header of the document? I would like the title to appear on top of the table and not in the header.

ods escapechar='^';
options  papersize=A4 nodate center;
ods rtf file = 'doc.rtf' style= Custom_nl startpage=no;
title '^n Boys';
proc print data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='M'));
run;
title '^n Girls';
proc print data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='F'));
run;
ods rtf close;

In the output below you will see that the title for the second table has been moved to the header of the second page.

[Kathryn_SAS · Accepted solution]

You have added the STARTPAGE=NO option which was not in your original code. As I mentioned in my first statement, you use BODYTITLE to move Titles and Footnotes to the body of the document. However, when you use BODYTITLE and also use STARTPAGE=NO, this will affect the titles.

You can use ODS RTF TEXT= instead of a Title statement as shown in this example.

ods escapechar='^';
options  nodate orientation=landscape center papersize=a4;
ods listing close;
ods rtf file = 'doc.rtf' style= Custom_nl startpage=no bodytitle;
title 'Boys';
proc print data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='M'));
run;
title;
ods rtf text='^S={outputwidth=100% font_weight=bold font_size=12pt just=c} Girls';
proc print data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='F'));
run;
ods rtf close;
ods listing;

Thanks. I did not want to use ODS Text as this will lead to changing the code, but it looks like my only option.

The text generated by ODS TEXT=, would get grey box around it. That lead you can not make this text as a bookmarker.

So the best solution is using PRETEXT= option of PROC REPORT.

options  nodate orientation=landscape center papersize=a4;
ods rtf file = 'c:\temp\doc.rtf'  startpage=no ;
proc report data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='M')) style={pretext='Boys'};
run;
proc report data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='F')) style={pretext='Girls'};
run;
ods rtf close;
