Pagebreaks in ODS RTF

[hemanthpadmakar]

Hello All,
I have a problem with page breaks when using ODS RTF. My aim is to put as many tables(Each table corresponds to each proc report in my code) as possible into a single page, and then go to the next page.
Here are some of the approaches I used, but failed to implement.
1. I used startpage=no option and changed to startpage=now, whenever is needed. This concept worked very fine except that, it takes a single title for the two tables(two proc reports). Meaning, it takes a single title for each page. I want two different titles for the two tables.
2. I tried to use options formdlim=' '. But this seems to apply only for the output window, but not for the ODS RTF. I can see the differences in the output window, but not in RTF file.

Can anyone suggest me a solution for this.

Thanks in Advance,
N. Hemanth Padmakar.

Hi Narra,
In fact we don't have any direct solution for this. So, I've compromised with few things. However, I think this may help you. I've used startpage=off, and then used startpage=on wherever I need a page break. But, as you know, you'll have to lose the titles for individual tables. So, I used ODS RTF TEXT='title'; whenever you need a title(manually). But, if you feel, you can't put the tables and titles manually(becoz the tables may vary in size), you can use an option KEEPN in ods and turn startpage=no. Please let me know, if you have any questions. Hope this had helped you.

Good Luck,
Regards,
Hemanth N Padmakar.

hi there Hemanth


thanks for the reply

i have adopted one procedure for this problem

1.i have used startpage=No in the options
2.created table headings using compute before in all
the proc report statements which almost look like the headers.

one draw back is that i could not print the page numbers

Hi,

I am trying to insert a text into the table of a word document using SAS and DDE.say, one of the cell in the table has text "version:". I have a bookmark right after the : and truing to insert some text here. But, it is not working. It is working if I am trying to insert text at bookmarks outside the table.
Does any one know the easiest method to insert text into cells of a table.Here is the code that I am using.


options noxwait noxsync;
x 'c:\msoffice\winword\winword.exe';

filename ws dde 'winword|system';
filename name dde 'winword|C:\Documents and Settings\......\t.doc!name';
filename location dde 'winword|C:\Documents and Settings\......\t.doc!address';
filename prod dde 'winword|C:\Documents and Settings\......\t.doc!tab';

data _null_;
x=sleep(10);
file ws;
put '[FileOpen .Name = "C:\Documents and Settings\.....\t.doc"]';
stop;
run;

data _null_;
/*file name notab;
put 'Alice';
file location notab;
put 'Wonderland';*/
file prod notab;
put "ente";
stop;
run;

data _null_;
file ws;
put '[FilePrint]';
put '[FileSave]';
put '[FileExit 2]';
stop;
run;

Thanks,
