Hi:
You did not mention what your destination of interest was. There are not any page numbers or page breaks in ODS HTML, but your SAS title would go before any group break (such as for grouped data) in a List Data task. With ODS RTF your SAS titles go into the header area of the output file, so those titles would appear on every page. With ODS PDF, your SAS titles go onto the top of each page, so that wouldn't work either.

The LIST DATA task is a discreet task, whose purpose is to list your data and the SAS titles for the task will work as described above. What I do when I need a title page is make a separate file or data set with the lines that go on the title page and then within one code block or ODS "sandwich", I have my list data task (or PROC PRINT) preceded by the code that produces the title page.

For example, in the code shown below, the DATA step program creates a table with one variable, TLINE. Every output statement writes one row to the output file, which is WORK.FIRSTPAGE.

The PROC REPORT step, then writes the data set using the NOHEADER option and some special style attributes to turn off the normal table lines that you would otherwise see. You can cut and paste this code into an EG code node and run it. The code will create 3 files for you -- HTML, RTF and PDF.

The PDF and RTF files should print the title lines on the first page at the front of the Proc Print output. The HTML may or may not print the title lines on the first page when you print, depending on the browser/printer that you use.
