As far as I can see from the original post, nothing's creating a page break
for ODS, PDF, or anything else to recognize. In the DATA step, when writing
to the PRINT file, the page size is set by an argument on the FILE
statement.
I don't have access to the original file being printed, but I mocked up the
following:
data test;
do n = 1 to 100;
output;
end;
stop;
run;
ODS PDF FILE='...';
DATA _NULL_;
set test;
FILE PRINT;
PUT n;
RUN;
ODS PDF CLOSE;
The resulting PDF just ran on - the first page showed the default title and
observations 1 to 66, and the 67 - 100
When I changed the step to this:
ODS PDF FILE='...';
DATA _NULL_;
set test;
FILE PRINT pagesize = 50;
PUT n;
RUN;
ODS PDF CLOSE;
the PDF went for three pages, 50 lines per page (counting the default title
"The SAS System") for the first two pages and the 4 line spill over on the
third. Parsing the input file to insert page breaks is unnecessary.
Nothing new below, included for reference only.
