Hi,

For the image file and small data set, you can use inline formatting and a gridded layout. You don't need a layout for the large data set.

This works in both SAS 9.1 and SAS 9.2:

data largeClass;
  set sashelp.class;
  do i=1 to 20;
    output;
  end;
run;

ods escapechar='^';
ods pdf file='c:\temp\test.pdf';
ods listing close;
ods layout start columns=2;
ods region;
ods pdf text="^S={preimage='c:\temp\test.jpg'}";
ods region;
proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;
ods layout end;
proc print data=largeClass;
run;
ods pdf close;
ods listing;

-Randy

Hi,

I need to create a pdf report having 3 components.

1. An image file
2. A small data set (20 records)
3. A large data set (100s of records).

I want the first page of the pdf file to have the image file and the small data set. From the 2nd page onwards I want to print the large data set as long as all the data from this dataset is printed (may be till page 10 or 13 or 17 etc.).

I tried using ODS Layout for this. But, looks like it is limited.

I tried putting the image file and small dataset in 1 layout and the big dataset in a 2nd layout. It doesn't work. It gives me only page 1.

Can anybody suggest a way to get around this problem??

Thanks!!
