Can a bar chart and results from a Proc Report be placed on the same page?
I need to create a couple hundred barcharts with their corresponding data in a spreadsheet format directly below and on the same page. Since I have hundreds of these to create, I don't want to export the results to excel and make a couple hundred worksheets. Can two data elements, like a bar chart and results from proc report or proc tabulate be shown on the same page? Is there a way to control the page breaks?
Thanks! Linda
Hi:
ODS RTF and ODS PDF both support the STARTPAGE= option. Depending on your version of SAS, you can try STARTPAGE=NO -- in 9.3, that should work for both PDF and RTF. In earlier versions of SAS, you might have had to use STARTPAGE=NEVER for PDF. But the code below should work for you in 9.3 of SAS.

I found where I control it in HTML, but I need to supress page breaks in output to rtf or pdf Here's the html code to supress page breaks:
ods html file="test.html" options(pagebreak='no');
