SAS proc report to PDF , truncating text

[lisahoward]

I am trying to output to the following proc report to a  PDF file using the following code.  However my narrative variable  gets truncated if it is longer than one PDF page. One page is fine but if it spans over two pages it is truncated at the end of the first page. Does anyone have any help on how to stop the truncation of the narrative field.

Many thanks.

Hi:

Without data, or the full program, it is very hard to make a constructive comment. If truncation is occuring, it is related to the actual data using your actual program. It might be to your benefit to contact Tech Support and open a track. They could look at ALL of your program and use it with your data in order to help you debug your issue.
