When a PAGE option is requested in a DEFINE statement and a BREAK statement in PROC REPORT and the output is routed to an ODS destination, PROC REPORT ignores the PAGE option in the DEFINE statement and prints out all of the observations. The observations are from the variables listed up to the PAGE option variable. Once all of the observations are printed for the first grouping, all of the observations for the next grouping then print. This is a change in behavior from previous releases of SAS. The Listing output is correct.

To circumvent the problem, subset the data and print each page of output with a separate PROC REPORT step.
