When multiple J= options are used on a TITLE or FOOTNOTE statement, in the RTF and PDF destinations, the space for this TITLE or FOOTNOTE is divided into equal parts. For example, if all 3 possible J= options are specified, each J= text portion is allotted one third of the width of the page, minus the left and right margin settings. If 2 J= options are specified, each portion will be allocated one half the width of the page, minus the left and right margins. If one portion of the TITLE or FOOTNOTE takes up more than its allotment of the space, the text will wrap.

One workaround is to reduce the font size for the text. Another workaround is to separate the text into multiple TITLEs or FOOTNOTEs. In the FULL CODE tab, a workaround is offered using the CELLWIDTH style attribute for the PRINTER (PCL/PDF/PS) destinations only.

Problem code:

ods rtf file="file.rtf";
ods pdf file="file.pdf";
 title j=l 'SOME TEXT' j=c 'LONG AND DESCRIPTIVE TEXT' ;
  proc print data=sashelp.class;
  run;
ods _all_ close;

Workaround 1:

ods escapechar="^";
ods rtf file="fix1.rtf";
ods pdf file="fix1.pdf";
 title j=l '^S={font_size=11pt} SOME TEXT' j=c '^S={font_size=11pt}LONG AND DESCRIPTIVE TEXT' ;
  proc print data=sashelp.class;
  run;
ods _all_ close;

Workaround 2:

ods rtf file="fix2.rtf";
ods pdf file="fix2.pdf";
 title  j=l 'SOME TEXT' ;
 title2 j=c 'LONG AND DESCRIPTIVE TEXT';
  proc print data=sashelp.class;
  run;
ods _all_ close;
