Comments: To: Kevin Viel <kviel@EMORY.EDU>

Hi Kevin,

Try to move the header from the define statement to column statement.

------
ods pdf file="c:\temp\junk.pdf";

proc report data=sashelp.class nowd split='~';
column
 ("Name" name)
 ("Sex" sex)
 ("Age" age)
 ("Spaned Header~for Weight and Height" weight height);
define name /'' display;
define sex /'';
define age /'';
define weight/'';
define height/'';
run;

ods pdf close;
-------

I don't understand what you last line mean:

Further, a block is incomplete before the header and does
not span the remaining columns following the header.


Kind regards,

Ya Huang
