Page margins that are set by the style or in an OPTIONS statement at the initiation of a PDF file created by ODS remain in effect until the end of the file. The margins cannot be changed or toggled within the PDF file.

Although the page margins cannot be changed, ODS LAYOUT syntax can be used to change text placement on a page and mimic a change in margins using the X= and Y= arguments. The sample code on the Full Code tab illustrates this.
