Problem Note 53841: An extraneous underscore might be added to an ODS RTF TEXT= value
 |  |  |  |  |
The raw RTF code "^R/RTF'\s2 ' " in the TEXT= value of an ODS RTF statement should produce a blank line that contains no characters. However, it might produce a line with an extraneous underscore in SAS® 9.4.
Code similar to the following might produce the extraneous underscore:
ods rtf text="^S={outputwidth=100% just=l}^R/RTF'\s2 ' ";
As as workaround, remove the space after the s2 text, as shown below:
ods rtf text="^S={outputwidth=100% just=l}^R/RTF'\s2' ";
