One additional detail - if I'm only printing one table, I can use the /ACTIVEFOOTN option to set my footnote globally, but that's not what I am referring to in this particular question.
Another approach is to use the nocenter option, but again, what I am after is the ability to put formatting commands in my OBFOOTN statement.
Added some more detail to preclude certain workarounds being counted as 'the answer'.
