If a table written using PROC TEMPLATE and DATA _NULL_ includes footer text, the text might not appear on every page of output in the PDF destination. The footer information is not processed until the table is read in completely. Adding the UNIFORM option writes the footer on every page of output.

The following code provides an example. Running the code without the UNIFORM option replicates the undesired behavior of the missing footer.

   data failed;
     do testname=1 to 120;
       output;
     end;
   run;

   title;
   footnote;
   ods listing close; 

   proc template;
     define table summary;
      notes "Standard Table";
      FOOTER_SPACE= 50;

      define footer tail;
      text 
      "Footer text" ;
      style=standardfootcell;
     end;
     end;
   run;

   ods pdf file="footnotetest.pdf" uniform;

   data _null_;
     set work.failed;
     file print ods=(template="summary"
            columns=(header=testname(generic=on)));
     put _ods_;
   run;

   ods pdf close;
   ods listing;
