It seems to me that the only way to ask ODS to break a page is to send the page break command (put _page_) from within ODS. Since your lst file was created outside the ODS, and you never used "put _page_" in the data _null_ step, ODS won't know where to break the page. To fix this, we have to add 'put _page_' at the proper place, which means we need to parse the input file and find out the page break, then use put _page_ at that point:

options ps=41 date number;

title "old title"; data _null_; file "c:\temp\junk.lst" print; do i=1 to 220; put "XXXXXXXXXXX " i "XXXXXXXXX"; end; run;

ODS PDF FILE='c:\temp\junk.pdf'; options nodate nonumber; title; footnote;

DATA _NULL_; INFILE "c:\temp\junk.lst"; FILE PRINT; input; if substr(_infile_,1,1)='0C'x and _n_ > 1 then do; put _page_; _infile_=substr(_infile_,2); put _infile_; end; else put _infile_; RUN;

ODS PDF CLOSE;
