Multiple tables appear on the same page when you create landscape RTF output and the BODYTITLE option is specified in the ODS RTF statement. The sample code below replicates the problem:

options orientation=landscape;

ods listing close;
ods rtf file='c:\temp\sastest.rtf' bodytitle;

proc report data=sashelp.class(obs=10) nowd; 
run;

proc report data=sashelp.shoes(obs=10) nowd; 
run;

ods rtf close; 
ods listing;

To circumvent the problem, do one of the following:

• Specify an orientation of portrait before the ODS RTF FILE= statement, and then toggle the output to landscape after the ODS RTF FILE= statement. The sample code below demonstrates this:

  ods _all_ close;
  options orientation=portrait;
  ods rtf file="sastest.rtf" bodytitle;
  
  options orientation=landscape; 
  ods rtf;  
  
  proc report data=sashelp.class(obs=10) nowd; 
  run;
  
  proc report data=sashelp.shoes(obs=10) nowd; 
  run;
  
  ods rtf close; 
  
  

• Replace the ODS RTF statements with ODS TAGSETS.RTF statements. When using the ODS TAGSETS.RTF statement, the BODYTITLE option is set by default and is not needed in the ODS statement.


• Remove the BODYTITLE option from the ODS RTF statement and use ODS RTF TEXT= statements instead of TITLE statements to insert text above and below tables and images.
