Hi: I cannot answer that question (about combining titles and ods text=). There have been times that I have done it and it works fine. There are times that it worked oddly, but most of the times when it has worked oddly for me involved using a mixture of STARTPAGE=NO with STARTPAGE=NOW. If you are encountering an issue, such as you describe, the best resource for you is to open a track with Tech Support. If they verify that you are using TITLES and ODS TEXT= correctly and they observe the same issue, then they have the method by which to alert the developer and report this as a possible bug that needs to be fixed. Any other comments about whether it -should- work is only speculation. I have had ODS PDF TEXT= work. I have seen it not work. Most of the times it has not worked, I have been able to workaround or take another approach. I don't see where you really need ODS PDF TEXT= in your example. And I'm not in a position to run code today due to other committments. There are some things in your code that probably don't work anymore with ODS PDF, like -2n as a way to wrap text, that was possible in the first iteration of ODS ESCAPECHAR, but when the new syntax for ODS ESCAPECHAR came out in SAS 9.2, some of former syntax for marking and wrapping lines was not carried forward as a supported feature, so I tend to avoid things like escapechar+m or escapechar+w or escapechar+-2n. I really think this is a question for Tech Support if you really need to make ODS PDF TEXT= work. cynthia
