I am trying to show a line extending across the report in the title area.  Right now I am showing

title4 j=c "_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________";  Isnt there a more efficient way to just print a line in the title area ???  I did this simply by drawing a line here

You can use a function via %sysfunc() e.g:

%put %sysfunc(repeat(_,36));

So maybe:

title4 "%sysfunc(repeat(_,36))";

36 being the number of times to repeat the character.

You're a genius..I just have to increase the number from 36 to a larger number so the line can encapsulate the entire page.  However I definitely learned something here
