ODS HTML: I want to build a table look (no spaces between rows) out of multiple proc reports.  However, it inserts a space between the output tables.  How do I minimize or remove the space between the output tables? The data is different data types so I can't just append into one table. TIA!

 

proc report data=work.pct_remain_2 nowd missing noheader
style(header) = {font_face="calibri" font_size=10pt bordercolor=black background=orange foreground=white }
style(column)={background=white font_face="calibri" font_size=10pt }
;
columns (Label MIN_ CYC DAYS DATE);
define Label / ' ' style(column)=[cellwidth=1.5in] left;
define MIN_ / ' ' style(column)=[cellwidth=1.5in]center;
define CYC / ' ' style(column)=[cellwidth=1.5in] center ;
define DAYS / ' ' style(column)=[cellwidth=1.5in]center ;
define DATE / ' ' style(column)=[cellwidth=1.5in] center;
run;

proc report data=work.test_2 nowd missing noheader
style(header) = {font_face="calibri" font_size=10pt bordercolor=black background=orange foreground=white }
style(column)={background=white font_face="calibri" font_size=10pt }

columns (Label MIN_ CYC DAYS DATE);
define Label / ' ' style(column)=[cellwidth=1.5in] left;

define DATE / ' ' style(column)=[cellwidth=1.5in] center;

Hide the bottom border of the top table and top border of the bottom table.  Reduce the line-height of the omnipresent table separator <br/> to 0.

Since your code shows the same variables the question does arise why are the variables of different types?

Perhaps addressing that issue will save a lot of work going forward.
