Here are two ways you can add images to an RTF file.

• Beginning with Release 8.2 in ODS RTF, you can add an image before a table with PREIMAGE= and after a table with POSTIMAGE= in PROC TEMPLATE. Below is an example.

     proc template;
       define style styles.test;
         parent=styles.rtf;
         style table from table /
               preimage='c:\saslog.jpg';
       end;
     run;
  
     ods rtf file='temp.rtf' style=styles.test;
  
     proc print data=sashelp.class;
     run;
  
     ods rtf close;
  

• Beginning with Release 8.2 in ODS RTF, you can add an image to the beginning of the file by using in-line formatting. This is currently a work-around that adds an image into the TITLE1. For subsequent procedures or DATA steps, remove TITLE1 so the image only appears once.

     ods escapechar='^';
     ods rtf file='temp.rtf';
  
     proc print data=sashelp.class;
       title j=l '^S={preimage="C:\V7image.jpg"} ';
     run;
  
     proc print data=sashelp.class;
       title;
       title2 'this is a test';
     run;
  
     ods rtf close;
