To explain the question, first of all, it refers to cases where ODS
PRINTER output is paneled; that is, where the table is too wide to
fit on the page, so it is broken up into panels. For example, a table
with columns a, b, c, d, e, f, g might be broken up into one
panel with columns a, b, c, d, e and another with columns
a, f, g. (Typically, but not always, the first column
repeats on the each panel so you can identify which rows match.)
In the listing destination, a multiple-page output looks something
like this:
___________________________________________________
| | | |
| a b c d e | a f g | a b c d e |
| | | |
| 0 1 2 3 4 | 0 5 6 | 9 1 2 3 4 |
| 1 1 2 3 4 | 1 5 6 | 10 1 2 3 4 |
| 2 1 2 3 4 | 2 5 6 | |
| 3 1 2 3 4 | 3 5 6 | |
| 4 1 2 3 4 | 4 5 6 | a f g |
| 5 1 2 3 4 | 5 5 6 | |
| 6 1 2 3 4 | 6 5 6 | 9 5 6 |
| 7 1 2 3 4 | 7 5 6 | 10 5 6 |
| 8 1 2 3 4 | 8 5 6 | |

In the ODS PRINTER destination, by contrast, the same output looks more like this:
_____________________________________________________________________
| | | | |
| a b c d e | a f g | a b c d e | a f g |
| | | | |
| 0 1 2 3 4 | 0 5 6 | 9 1 2 3 4 | 9 5 6 |
| 1 1 2 3 4 | 1 5 6 | 10 1 2 3 4 | 10 5 6 |
| 2 1 2 3 4 | 2 5 6 | | |
| 3 1 2 3 4 | 3 5 6 | | |
| 4 1 2 3 4 | 4 5 6 | | |
| 5 1 2 3 4 | 5 5 6 | | |
| 6 1 2 3 4 | 6 5 6 | | |
| 7 1 2 3 4 | 7 5 6 | | |
| 8 1 2 3 4 | 8 5 6 | | |

Why? Because the developers
thought it looked better that way, and because
you can take subsequent pages and paste them
together to get the complete table. It is a deliberate break with
tradition. We believe it's an improvement, but if you don't, please
send e-mail to
the ods@sas.com address.
