Suppressing Bookmarks in PROC REPORT

[MLC77]

Hi

I've done some searching on this and can't find a solution I am not already trying. I have a standard proc report that is split using by variables. All has been good the bookmarks have been fine, but something has changed somewhere and I appear to be getting extra rows of data in the bookmark. In the PROC LABEL I put the table titles and then the BY splits. But for some reason now I am getting the variables that contribute to the table too.

The code that produces this is all macro driven, so I've extracted the actual report statement from the log - hopefully this makes sense, the ordering of the statements might be a little off.

ODS PDF FILE=outpdf style = styles.vx_pdf10 ;

ODS proclabel = "Table 28 Number (%) of subjects with adverse events during the 43-day (Days 0-42) post-vaccination period Total vaccinated cohort";

** Create the REPORT;
PROC REPORT DATA = _rep_list NOWD spanrows missing contents = "" split='|' style(report)={cellpadding=3px} ;
	BY sexn racen;
	COLUMN ODSDUMMY sexn racen asocnum sumvar GRP1_LAB, ( GRP1_NUM GRP1_PERC ) GRP_GAP GRP2_LAB, ( GRP2_NUM GRP2_PERC ) GRP_GAP GRPTOT_LAB, ( GRPTOT_NUM GRPTOT_PERC ) ;
	;

	DEFINE odsdummy / ORDER ORDER=DATA NOPRINT;
	DEFINE asocnum / order order = DATA NOPRINT;

	DEFINE sumvar / display order = DATA " " style(header)=[just=left ] style(column)=[cellwidth=48% ASIS=ON just=left ] spacing = 1 ;
	DEFINE grp1_NUM / DISPLAY order = DATA "n or value" style(header)=[just=CENTER ] style(column)=[cellwidth=7.5% just=CENTER ] spacing = 1 ;
	DEFINE grp1_PERC / DISPLAY order = DATA "%" style(header)=[just=CENTER ] style(column)=[cellwidth=7.5% just=CENTER ] spacing = 1 ;
	DEFINE grp2_NUM / DISPLAY order = DATA "n or value" style(header)=[just=CENTER ] style(column)=[cellwidth=7.5% just=CENTER ] spacing = 1 ;
	DEFINE grp2_PERC / DISPLAY order = DATA "%" style(header)=[just=CENTER ] style(column)=[cellwidth=7.5% just=CENTER ] spacing = 1 ;
	DEFINE grpTOT_NUM / DISPLAY order = DATA "n or value" style(header)=[just=CENTER ] style(column)=[cellwidth=7.5% just=CENTER ] spacing = 1 ;
	DEFINE grpTOT_PERC / DISPLAY order = DATA "%" style(header)=[just=CENTER ] style(column)=[cellwidth=7.5% just=CENTER ] spacing = 1 ;
	DEFINE grp1_lab / ACROSS "" ORDER=INTERNAL;
	DEFINE grp2_lab / ACROSS "" ORDER=INTERNAL;
	DEFINE grpTOT_lab / ACROSS "" ORDER=INTERNAL;

	DEFINE GRP_GAP / DISPLAY " " ORDER=INTERNAL style(column)=[cellwidth=1% ASIS=ON just=L ];

	COMPUTE AFTER asocnum ;
		LINE '';
	ENDCOMP;

	define sexn / NOPRINT GROUP CONTENTS="" PAGE FORMAT = sex. ;
	define racen / NOPRINT GROUP CONTENTS="" PAGE FORMAT = race. ;

	compute before _page_ / style={borderbottomstyle=solid borderbottomcolor=black fontweight=bold} ;
		byvars = catx( ' ' , " Gender: " , PUT(sexn , sex.) ,' ' , " Nationality: " , PUT(racen , race.) ,' ' );
		line @1 byvars $varying100.;
	endcomp;
	
	BREAK BEFORE odsdummy / CONTENTS="" PAGE;

RUN;

ODS PDF CLOSE;

As you can see I have use the BREAK and CONTENTS='' on "odsdummy" which is just a variable with the value of 1 to help with the Bookmarks. 

Here is the output - its the yellow bookmark I want rid off.

I'm just curious where the variable names come from to be put into the bookmark

It's got to be something really simple I am missing.

Thanks for anyones help

It's ok I've found the solution

I just needed to remove PAGE & CONTENTS="" from the below DEFINE STATEMENTS:

	define sexn / NOPRINT GROUP CONTENTS="" PAGE FORMAT = sex. ;
	define racen / NOPRINT GROUP CONTENTS="" PAGE FORMAT = race. ;

If a moderator wants to delete this then please do so.
