it should be a feature of ODS(output delivery system) in the Nashvile Release, because procedure output is then created in two stages

Betreff: Re: page number Nachrichtentext:

That's on the SASware ballot every year, and I always check "YES" to try to get them to add it.

Here's pretty much your options now: 1--Export the document to a word processor that can do it (like MS-WORD) 2--Export the document to a text file and know which character you use for FORMDLIM=, then read that file back into SAS and count the page breaks referenced by the FORMDLIM= character, then read it in once again and write the "PAGE x OF y" statement using a DATA _NULL_ ; 3--Do the whole report in a DATA _NULL_ where you can count the expected # of pages first and then create the report 4--Get over not having PAGE x OF y 5--Not get over having PAGE x OF y and complain about it a lot.

I pick option 5, at least most of the time.
