proc report, proc document and TOC

[xxformat_com]

Here I'm using proc report with a by statement and  proc document to create a table of contents in a PDF file.

I'm wondering why "Level 3" is not displayed by in the list statement output of proc document

and why renaming the Table Item with setlabel creates a new item in the TOC.

1. Default Labels in the TOC

proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class;
    by sex;
run;

ods document name=test(write); 
	proc report data=class;
	    by sex;
	    column name age height weight;
	    define name   / display;
	    define age    / display;
	    define height / display;
	    define weight / display;
	run;
ods document close; 
 
ods pdf file ="&xxtest./reporting/test.pdf";

proc document name=test;    
    replay;
    run; 
quit;

ods pdf close; 

2. Using labels from proclabel and contents

options label;

proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class;
    by sex;
run;

data class;
   set class;
   retain tmp 1;
run;

ods document name=test(write); 
    ods proclabel 'Level 1'; 
	proc report data=class contents='Level 2';
	    by sex;
	    column tmp name age height weight;
	    define tmp    / order noprint;
	    define name   / display;
	    define age    / display;
	    define height / display;
	    define weight / display;
	    break before tmp / page contents='Level 3';
	run;
ods document close; 
 
ods pdf file ="&xxtest./reporting/test.pdf";

proc document name=test;    
    replay;
    run; 
quit;

ods pdf close; 

3. Using proc document

options label;

proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class;
    by sex;
run;

data class;
   set class;
   retain tmp 1;
run;

ods document name=test(write); 
    ods proclabel 'Level 1'; 
	proc report data=class contents='Level 2';
	    by sex;
	    column tmp name age height weight;
	    define tmp    / order noprint;
	    define name   / display;
	    define age    / display;
	    define height / display;
	    define weight / display;
	    break before tmp / page contents='Level 3';
	run;
ods document close; 

proc document name=test;    
    list/levels=all details;
	run;
quit;

proc document name=test;   
    setlabel \Report#1\ByGroup1#1\Report#1\Report#1 '4.1';
    setlabel \Report#1\ByGroup2#1\Report#1\Report#1 '4.2';

    setlabel \Report#1\ByGroup1#1\Report#1 '3.1';
    setlabel \Report#1\ByGroup2#1\Report#1 '3.2';

    setlabel \Report#1\ByGroup1#1 '2.1';
    setlabel \Report#1\ByGroup2#1 '2.2';

    setlabel \Report#1 '1';
    
    list/levels=all  details;

	run;
quit;

 
ods pdf file ="&xxtest./reporting/test.pdf";

proc document name=test;    
    replay;
    run; 
quit;

ods pdf close; 

I'm wondering why "Level 3" is not displayed in the list statement output.

We can see that renaming the Table item creates a new entry on the last level rather than the one available at that level.
