Title won't left align PROC REPORT

[yo1]

Hello,

I am creating a report that has a table and title statement using PROC REPORT.    I am having trouble getting the title statement to left align in the report.    Can someone provide me with some pointers.   Thank you

Proc report data = work.sas3 spacing = 1 ;
column naics code ('Percent Change' mfp Sectoral_Quantity_Index

define intermediate_quantity_index/ Display "Intermediate Inputs" center width = 12 ;

run;

Please show what is wrong about the current output.

Did you try the NOCENTER system option?

Hi.   That worked.  Thanks.    Is there a way to do it without the title statement?   Is there a feature in PROC REPORT that one can make a title?

Hi:

  There's a feature in PROC REPORT where you can write custom text at the TOP of the table, but within the boundaries of the table. In the example below, see how the TITLE text is at the very top of the report, outside the boundaries of the report. But the COMPUTE block text is within the boundaries of the report, as shown below:

However, this may or may not be what you want or need. This is what PROC REPORT can do. As you can see in my example, you should NOT need NOCENTER in order to left align the title string.

That worked for me. Thanks.
