SAS Support Communities

Hello eveyone!   I use SAS Enterprise Guide 8.5 with and have been struggling with the following issue for a few days.   I run the code below: DATA AAA; SET SASHELP.CARS; PAGE_NO = FLOOR((_n_-1)/15)+1; RUN; ODS RTF(ID=INDA) FILE= "\\app01.icrc.local\Share\Projects\ROX_795_SC-332A\Biostatistics\Prog\A.rtf" CONTENTS=YES STARTPAGE=YES TOC_DATA; PROC REPORT DATA=AAA(obs=100); COLUMNS PAGE_NO Make Model Type Origin DriveTrain MSRP Invoice EngineSize Cylinders Horsepower MPG_City MPG_Highway; DEFINE PAGE_NO / ORDER NOPRINT contents=""; DEFINE Make / ORDER NOPRINT; DEFINE Model / DISPLAY ID STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; DEFINE Type / DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; DEFINE Origin / DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; DEFINE DriveTrain / DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; DEFINE MSRP / DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; DEFINE Invoice / DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN} contents="" PAGE; DEFINE EngineSize / DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; DEFINE Cylinders / DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; DEFINE Horsepower / DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; DEFINE MPG_City / DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; DEFINE MPG_Highway /DISPLAY STYLE(COLUMN)={CELLWIDTH=1IN}; COMPUTE BEFORE Make; LINE @1 " "; LINE @1 Make $16.; LINE @1 " "; ENDCOMP; break before page_no / page contents=""; compute after _page_; line "Some text"; line "Some other text"; endcomp; compute after; line "End of Table"; endcomp; RUN; ODS RTF(ID=INDA) CLOSE; My purpose is to produce a report: 1) With page breaks (hence the line break before page_no / page); 2) With footnotes in every page and a messege in the end of table; 3) With page breakes before the column Invoice (hence DEFINE Invoice / ... PAGE); 4) With a line before every new group (hence the COMPUTE BEFORE Make block);   The problem is that the generated report has the first page empty: Everything else works fine.   I tried some approaches. So, replacing break before page_no / page with break after page_no / page solves this problem, but creates other ones (for example empty pages in the end). Also, deleting the COMPUTE BEFORE Make block make thing better. But unfortunately, the line before every group is required. Of course reducing column width (so that all columns fit in one page) helps too, but in real projects we often have reports with many columns.   I hope someone could help me with good advice. Thanks in advance! ... View more
