How to remove level 2 bookmarks from this proc report

[bharath86]

Hi,

Below is the code I am using to generate the PDF, I am in need of removing the level two bookmarks from the output. The highlited bookmarks from the below image. I tried multiple ways but I am not succesful. Please advise how to completely remove the highlited bookmarks. 

ods proclabel='TOC';
	  proc report nowd data=toc contents="" ;
	  columns node tlg combtit;
        define node     / group noprint;
	    define tlg      / display ' ' style(column)=[asis=on cellwidth=1.3in just=l color=blue] style(header)=[just=l] ;
	    define combtit  / display ' ' style(column)=[asis=on cellwidth=7.7in just=l color=blue] style(header)=[just=l] ;
        break before node / contents="" page;
	  run;

Your code looks right.

data class;
set sashelp.class;
retain id 1;
run;

ods pdf file='c:\temp\temp.pdf';
ods proclabel='TOC';
	  proc report  nowd data=class contents="" ;
        define id     / group noprint;
	    define name     / display ' ' style(column)=[asis=on cellwidth=1.3in just=l color=blue] style(header)=[just=l] ;
        break before id / contents="" page;
	  run;
ods pdf close;

So I guess I am missing something in proc document procedure which generates bookmarks for next pages or items. 

So is it the proc document procedure that generates bookmarks for every new item in a PDF ?

Hi,

If my code looks right, I dont get the output like you have. I still get those extra "Table 1 and Table 2" bookmarks. in my output using the same code. 

I am not sure how to control those second level nodes. I tried solutions from https://support.sas.com/kb/31/278.html here as well. but still i get them. 

Please advise. 

Thank you

Those Table1 Table2 marks must be from the PROC which is NOT PROC REPORT .

Yeah, This is from proc document to assign labels to each object (TLF's). I am able to assign labels but cant suppress the next level bookmarks. I sthere a way to achieve this. 

 make temp;
 dir \temp#1;

 %do by=1 %to &bycnt;
 %let thispath=%scan(&bylist,&by,|);
 copy \itemlib.&thisitem.&thispath to ^;
 %end;

 setlabel \work.&thisitem\temp#1 "&bookmark";
 run;

Sorry . I am not familiar with proc documentation. Maybe @Cynthia_sas  know it.

Hmm ok, I tried a lot of her @Cynthia_sas answers from the communities. Most of them are from report. May be @Cynthia_sas if you can help me achieve this. Would be of great help. Do you want me to raise a diferent question and tag you.

Nopps, Just start a brand-new topic . And maybe other sas user could give you a hand.

Hi:

  You don't show ALL of your code, ALL the code, including the original procedures and ALL the PROC DOCUMENT code. No on can run your code without any data. However, I always recommend that you get all your code working to make the structure you want in PROC DOCUMENT before you macro-ize anything in a %DO loop.

  Here is my original paper https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/sgf09/318-2009.pdf on using PROC DOCUMENT and ODS DOCUMENT to replay and rearrange ODS output. As you can see, I did not macro-ize any folder/directory/object creation in the new Document store.

  For detailed help, I recommend working with Tech Support. They can look at ALL your code and ALL your data and help you come to a resolution in getting the Table of Contents the way you want.

  I recommend to my students that they start by making an entirely new (initially empty) document store, then design the folder structure they want and then copy objects one at a time and replay frequently, to make sure that phantom titles, page breaks or bookmarks from the original procedure output are not being accidentally copied into the new document store.
