Page Gap and Compute

[S_Proskurnin]

I have next structure in my table: Name / subname.

I need next thing in proc report: if column transfer to the next page then I need to write (Name || " (continued)") on the next page. E.g.:

Something

     111

     222    

     333

*page gap*

Something (continued)

     444

     555

     666

Probably it can be done by compute block, but I don't know how. Please help me to solve it.

Why not print  "Continue... "     at the beginning of every page ??

compute _page_ ;

line  "Continue... "  ;

endcomp;

Problem then is if you have multiple groups.  What you could do is assign a page no in your data based on your formula  (note not exact syntax, just poping this out there theoretically):

data want;

     set have;

     pgno=floor(_n_ / 20) + 1;  /* 20 obs per page */

run;

proc report...

     compute before pgno / break;

          if pgno > 1 then do;

               line "Continue";

          end;

     endcomp;

run;

LINE statement is global statement, you can't execute it conditionally as you did. But you can use format $varying200. to get the same thing .

Check

Item 52: The ability to print the word 'CONTINUED' when a report spans pages and to print 'END' on the last page.
