Hello all;
I am looking for some guidance on using background images for a report cover-
Essentially there is a mandated image but then I want to add about 3 spaced lines with text and images that are linked to other pages in the report.
If anyone has any guidance to any SUGI papers or others that might have some ideas that would be great.
If I attempt to set the image as a background image now, it simply shrinks it..code thus far..
I know that I can embed the image in a proc template statement but I only need it for the first page.
Thanks.
Lawrence

Hi:
You might want to look at some of the ODS LAYOUT examples, such as the one with a cover page in this paper:

Many Thanks!

OK Cynthia-It was a good start and it helped me enough to get to where I want to go but I have a curious issue with a phantom issue-
I essentially have a report that makes use of a ODS PDF text statement-
ods text="\S={leftmargin=1.5in preimage='T:\Hospital Reporting Team\Inp Quality Analytic Team\HA-CDI\HA-CDI Dashboard\TEMPLATE\LOGO.bmp' font_size=7 font_weight=bold} Hospital-Associated xxx Infection";
It works after the cover page, or the 2nd page of the report, but then when I run the statement it seems to be attaching a whole another image that is for the cover page? I am stumped.
I realize that you probably need the code but I'd rather do that off-line.

It works properly on the 2nd page of the report, after the cover page, but then
Hi:
This is really the kind of thing that you need to work with Tech Support. If there are issues that are due to the image and PDF, then Tech Support can test everything and involve the developers if they need to.

Cynthia- Duly noted. Thanks.
