Put titles headers and footnotes in section automatically created for contents in ods rtf

[Lord_Sapens]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a contents table in a rtf file. As I saw in other discussions and examples, the code is something like:

"ods rtf file="myfolder\Table_X.rtf" style=Journalvs CONTENTS toc_data;"

Everything fine, and in the rtf output, the table of contents is created and when I update the field, the contents appear. The problem is about the headers and footnotes. I have defined this headers and footnotes for the entire document, and I change it in each report, but, the TOC seems to be in a separated section of the document, and these titles are not populated. How can I add them? 

Also, and this is minnor at this time, I would like to know how to change the font size of the TOC elements, I tryied with proc template, but with any change.. 

The code: 

options orientation=landscape replace center nodate nonumber ;
ODS LISTING CLOSE;
ods ESCAPECHAR='^';


Title1 J=l "Study 1" J=R "Page ^{thispage} of ^{lastpage}";
Footnote1 J=L " myself";

ods rtf file="myfolder\Table_X.rtf" style=Journalvs CONTENTS toc_data;


title2 J=l "Table 1. Baseline and disease categorical characteristics.";
Footnote1 j=l "P-values obtained from Fisher exact test(*) or simulated MC Fisher test (#).; NA: Not apply.";
Footnote2 J=L " myself";


ODS PROCLABEL=' '; 
proc report data=tmp.cats contents='Table 1' center style(report)={just=center} style(header)=[background=white bordercolor=black borderbottomwidth=0.1pt vjust=center] nowd split="@" style(column)=[bordercolor=white];
column order_1 order_2 order_3 col1 col2;


column order_1 order_2 order_3 col1 col2;


define order_1 / order noprint;
define order_2 / order noprint;
define order_3 / order noprint;
define col1 / display "Group" left style(column)=[cellwidth=10% asis=on];
define col2 / display "Parameter" left style(column)=[cellwidth=15% asis=on] style(header)=[bordertopwidth=0pt];

compute before order_2 / style=[just=l font_face=Courier font_size=8pt font_weight=bold foreground=black background=white];
line j=l " ";
endcomp;

compute before order_2 / style=[just=l font_face=Courier font_size=8pt font_weight=bold foreground=black background=white];
line j=l " ";
endcomp;


break after order_1 / page contents=' ';
break before order_1 / page contents=' ';

run;

title2 J=l "Table 2.";
Footnote1 j=l "P-values obtained from t-test of equal or unequal (**) variances.; NA: Not apply.";
Footnote2 J=L "myself";

ODS PROCLABEL=' '; 
proc report data=tmp.conts contents='Table 2' center style(report)={just=center} style(header)=[background=white bordercolor=black borderbottomwidth=0.1pt vjust=center] nowd split="@" style(column)=[bordercolor=white];
column order_1 order_2 order_3 col1 col2;


define order_1 / order noprint;
define order_2 / order noprint;
define order_3 / order noprint;
define col1 / display "Group" left style(column)=[cellwidth=10% asis=on];
define col2 / display "Parameter" left style(column)=[cellwidth=15% asis=on] style(header)=[bordertopwidth=0pt];

compute before order_2 / style=[just=l font_face=Courier font_size=8pt font_weight=bold foreground=black background=white];
line j=l " ";
endcomp;

break after order_1 / page contents=' ';
break before order_1 / page contents=' ';
run;

ods rtf close;
ods html close;
ods listing;

Hi: You may want to work with SAS Tech Support on this. I do not think that SAS Titles or Footnotes are ever visible on the TOC page. There may be a workaround for that by writing your own code to generate a Table of Contents, but it may not be worth the effort. Then, I remember reading/hearing about how some of the TOC elements could not have the font changed by changing the style template. What I don't know is whether these types of changes are different in ODS WORD. So, your best resource on this might be SAS Tech Support.

Hi Cynthia,

Thank you for your response! I always use this website for consultation, but never for asking, and seems that the community responds very quick.

I was looking for an answer of that the entire day yesterday, at least, I have now a bit confirmation. 

My other option was to use something like that, that I found in some manuscripts of Lax Jensen and others (actually, I think that your name was in some of them?):

ODS RTF TEXT="{\pard\b\fs28\qc {Table of Contents} \par}"; 
ODS RTF TEXT="{\field{\*\fldinst {\\TOC \\f \\h}} \par }"; 

but, in this case, I had other two issues. Although the table is created, the pages are not showed (the concepts yes, i.e. "Table 1 ........." without the page number), and doesn't appear in a distinct page. I mean, the table has shown just before the first table. Maybe you or some other have a solution for this second option issues? I don't know if it is possible to add a pagebrake using the "RTF lenguage" for example, or if this works. I completely naive in RTF coding. 

Thank you in advance!

Hi again, 

I'm autoresponding me, I think that I found a "solution", with some trick.. Using this at the beggining: 

ods rtf text="{\pard\f2\b\fs32\qc {Index of Tables}
\par\cell}{\row}\pard{\field{\*\fldinst {\\TOC \\f \\h \\e "" "" \\c ""4"" \\z ""1033""
}}}\par\trowd\trgaph180\cellx1440\pard\intbl{}";

ods rtf notoc_data;
	ODS PROCLABEL=" "; 
      data _null_;
            file print;
			put "^S={borderbottomwidth=0 bordertopwidth=0 bordercolor=white borderbottomcolor=white}";
		run;
 ods rtf toc_data;
ODS RTF startpage=yes; 

For now, it will do my choice. If any one have more elegant solution, I'm open ! 

Thanks a lot.
