In the Listing destination, when a variable defined as GROUP or ORDER breaks across a page, its value is repeated at the top of the subsequent page. This does not occur in the ODS PRINTER (PCL, PDF, PS) or the ODS RTF destinations.

Due to vertical measurement issues, this feature will not be added to the ODS RTF destination. This feature is available in SAS 9.2 for the ODS PRINTER (PCL, PDF, PS) destinations using the SPANROWS option on the PROC REPORT statement, which is documented here.

For a way to use the new SPANROWS option in PROC REPORT with the RTF TAGSET in SAS 9.2, see Sample 35544.

A workaround for ODS RTF in all SAS versions is to use code similar to that in the Full Code tab to create a dummy variable upon which a page break is forced in PROC REPORT. This value will be displayed at the top of every page. This workaround code will also be necessary in SAS 9.1.3 and earlier when creating ODS PDF, PCL, or PS output.
