You can force each subject to begin on a new page using

   break after subject / page;

Otherwise, you'll need to do some preprocessing of your.  Search the
archives at

   http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=sas-l

for

   proc report group page obs

You'll find several suggestions.

I've got the following situation:

Subject Week ...  Other data
     1          1
     1          2
     1          3
     1          4
     1          5
     1          6
     2          1
     2          2
     2          3
     2          4
     2          5
     2          6
     3          1
     3          2
     .           .
     .           .
     .           .
     3          6
     .           .
     .           .
     .           .

Is there a way in proc report to make sure that all records for a
given
subject appear together on the same page? Depending on page size, proc
report will want to start a new page in the middle of some subject's 6
weeks. I'd like to keep all records for each subject together without
orphans carrying across pages. Can this be done simply?

Thanks,

Richard
