left margin on title in proc report

[Jackie_Stanbank]

i am writing a proc report into ods and want my titles and footnotes to be on the left hand side.

what syntax can i use?

Check out the JUSTIFY= option on the TITLE and FOOTNOTE statements.

If you want all of the output to align on the left margin you can also use
OPTION NOCENTER:

And, to build on Tim's suggestion, you can apply justification to multiple strings in the same title or footnote statement like this:
[pre]
title j=l 'Left String' j=c 'Center String' j=r 'Right String';
footnote j=l "Created on: &sysdate" j=r "Draft Version";
[/pre]

Most of the major ODS destinations (RTF, PDF and HTML) will respect the multiple justifications.
