PROC PRINT AND TITLE

[Eram]

Hi,

I used ttile in one of my proc means procedures but the same title is continuing for the consecutive proc feq, proc contents, proc print etc.

what do i do to restrain the title to one set of program only?

Below "MEANS STATISTICS OF CARS" title was given in the previous proc step. why is it continuing to next program, what do i do to get rid of Title in next and forth programs?

[RW9]

Put another title or footnote statment, with nothing will nullify it e.g:

title "Hello World";

proc ....;
run;

title;

proc ...;
run;

The second proc will not have Hello World title.

[Eram]

Yeah, it worked.. thank so much.

[mkeintz]

The take-home message here is that TITLE is a global sas statement.   See Global Statement by Category.  TITLE (and FOOTNOTE) are in the "Output Control" category.

[ballardw]

Please also note that this is actually a useful feature when coupled with the multiple Title statements available.

You can maintain a "main" or common title for multiple procedures and provide specific subtitles for different output:

Title1 "This is the Main Report Title";

Title2 "This is the Section 1 Title";

Title3 "This title is for Procedure 1";

<proc>

Title3 "This is for Procedure 2";

<proc>

Title2 "This is the Section 2 Title";

Title3 "This title is for Procedure 1";

<proc>

Title3 "This is for Procedure 2";

<proc>

title2; /* clears definitions for title2 and 3 statements but leaves Title1 in effect*/

Will have different titles at each procedure output maintaining the lower numbered title statements across multiple procedure outputs.

[Astounding]

Titles are global statements that remain in effect until changed (as you have seen).  There is no such thing as a temporary title.

Your options include adding a TITLE statement to all of your procedures.  Alternatively, following the RUN statement at the end of PROC MEANS, you could add:

title ' ';

That will blank out all title lines going forward (until you add a later TITLE statement).
