How to temporary save outputs for further use?

[ellouho1]

Dear members,

I should create a report with Page numbers in footnote and the outputs are created by macros, the steps are:

ODS RTF FILE..;

%DESCRIPTIVE_STAT;

%KMPLOT;

ODS RTF CLOSE;

The problem is I am getting the outputs generated by the procedures like PROC MEANS, PROC LIFETEST in the report, however, I don't want to print them into the final report.

Is there any procedure or process which allows me to save temporary the wanted outputs from PROC REPORT and PROC SGRENDER then I re-use them for final report creation, so the steps will like:

%DESCRIPTIVE_STAT;

%KMPLOT;

ODS RTF FILE.....;

NEW STEPS TO RELOAD THE WANTED OUTPUTS;

ODS RTF CLOSE;

FYI: I cannot use the NOPRINT option as I am using ODS for example 'ODS OUTPUT ProductLimitEstimates' from PROC LIFETEST.

Thank you in advance

ods rtf select none;
proc means data= ...;

run;
ods rtf select all;

ods document has some fancy functions to remove unwanted content and re-arrange the the output.

Unfortunately i don't have any code to share.
