AFAIK there is no way. You may use a macro like the following

%MACRO m; %LOCAL items word i; PROC SQL NOPRINT; SELECT DISTINCT location INTO :items SEPARATED BY ' ' FROM stuff; QUIT; %IF ("&items" EQ "") %THEN %DO; DATA; text = 'No locations found!'; RUN; TITLE 'Problem!'; PROC PRINT NOOBS; RUN; TITLE; %END; %ELSE %DO; %DO i=1 %TO 10000; %LET word=%SCAN( &items,&i ); %IF ("&word" NE "") %THEN %DO; TITLE "Location is &word"; options pageno=1; proc print data=stuff; by location; WHERE (location=&word); run; TITLE; %END; %ELSE %LET i=10000; %END; %END; %MEND; OPTIONS NODATE NOBYLINE; DATA stuff; DO location=1 TO 10; DO a=1 TO 100; OUTPUT; END; END; RUN; ODS PDF FILE='C:\test\test.pdf'; %m; * --- and now a test for an empty data set ; data stuff; stop; run; %m; ODS PDF CLOSE;
