We will be running PROC REPORT (actually, several different PROC REPORTs) to produce a report for 9 regions. The output for each region is to be sent to the supervisor for that region.
I had planned on producing PDF files, and had vaguely remembered that ODS had a NEWFILE= option that could start a separate file for each BY-group. To my horror, when I looked at the ODS PDF documentation, I didn't see this option listed.
At any rate, after considering some less than satisfactory alternatives, I decided to try a quick prototype anyway. It worked, but noted that "Newfile is an experimental option for Printer."
Normally we avoid using experimental software in production jobs. However, I figured I'd check to see if there was any sense for how reliable (or unreliable) NEWFILE has turned out to be in 9.1.3 with ODS PDF.
Thanks!
