The table produced has many columns. Is there a way to display a pdf where the first 4 columns are repeated in all pages? There are many more columns after position and many more rows. I have the following code but it is not working:

data sample;
input ID $ Name $ Age Salary Department $ Position $;
datalines;
1 John 30 50000 HR Manager
2 Jane 25 55000 Finance Analyst
3 Jack 40 60000 IT Developer
4 Jill 35 62000 Marketing Specialist
;
run;

ods pdf file='C:\path\to\your\output.pdf';

proc report data=sample nowd split='_';
    column ID Name Age Salary Department Position;
    define ID / 'ID' left;
    define Name / 'Name' left;
    define Age / 'Age' center;
    define Salary / 'Salary' right;
    define Department / 'Department' left;
    define Position / 'Position' left;
    
    /* Specify the columns to be repeated */
    compute after _page_;
        line ' ';
        line 'ID     Name     Age     Salary';
    endcomp;
run;

/* Close ODS PDF destination */
ods pdf close;
