Subject:      ODS Layout - 3 columns at top of page one,
              with page spanning list below?
Comments: To: sas-l@uga.edu

Trying to get an ODS PDF report with 3 columns in the top-half of page 1,
and a one column list that starts at the top of the bottom half, and
continues on to the second or more pages.

Any ideas on how to get such a render are appreciated.

<page-1>
xxx yyy zzz
xxx yyy zzz
xxx yyy zzz
    AAAAA
    AAAAA
    AAAAA
<page-2>
    AAAAA
    AAAAA
    AAAAA
    AAAAA

The code below is a start, but the AAAAA listing begins at the top of page
2.

dm 'next "results viewer"; cancel';

data foo;
  do i = 1 to 48;
    retain x y z 1 a b "Something";
    output;
  end;
run;

filename rpt "%sysfunc(pathname(WORK))\report.pdf";

options nonumber nodate;

ods listing close;
ods pdf file=rpt style=journal nobookmarklist;
ods pdf startpage=never;

ods escapechar='^';

title 'Multi-column';
title2 'Report';

ods layout start;
ods region x=0% y=0% width=33% height=40%;
proc report nowindows data=foo(firstobs= 1 obs=16);run;
ods region x=33% y=0% width=33% height=40%;
proc report nowindows data=foo(firstobs=17 obs=32);run;
ods region x=66% y=0% width=33% height=40%;
proc report nowindows data=foo(firstobs=33 obs=48);run;

ods layout end;

ods pdf text="^S={just=center}ONE This is some narrative";
ods pdf text="^S={just=center}TWO This is some narrative";

proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;

ods pdf close;
ods listing;
