ods pdf with layout gridded

[acordes]

I want the ods pdf to have gridded layout. 

In the sas studio window it appears gridded, but the pdf has only 1 column.

Furthermore the print includes a first title statement that shouldn't appear because the #byval1 is not resolved yet. 

data cars;
set sashelp.cars;
by model notsorted;
if first.model;
run;

proc transpose data=cars out=cars_long;
by model notsorted;
var _numeric_;
run;

data cars_long;
set cars_long;
label col1="value of analyzed variable" _name_="variable";
run;

proc sort data=cars_long;
by _name_;
run;


options papersize=A4 orientation=portrait leftmargin=1cm rightmargin=1cm; 

title;
ods pdf file="/caslibs/marketing/__test.pdf" style=Style.MySasWeb nogfootnote nogtitle  ;

options nobyline;                               
ods layout gridded columns=2 advance=bygroup;      
title "Histogram & kernel for #byval1";
  
ods region;             
proc sgplot data=cars_long noautolegend;
where col1 ne .;
by _NAME_ ;
  histogram col1 / dataskin=sheen    ;
  density col1 / type=kernel transparency=0.4;
run;

options byline;
ods layout end;

ods pdf close;

I don't know why your titles aren't working properly, this seems like a bug to me.

Your plots use the default size. If you change the plot size, then they will fit on one page.

ods graphics / height=3in width=3in; 

or you can use any other height and width that works for you.
