Subject: Re: ** Strange thing happening **
Summary: Garbage expected and found.
Respondent: Ian Whitlock

Kiran_N <Kiran_N@SATYAM.COM> wanted to add to an RTF file
and used

>   filename doc "D:\kiran\TrialData.rtf" mod;
>   data _null_;
>           set final;

I tested with

   data w ;
      do x = 1 to 5 ;
         y = ranuni ( 3465 ) ;
         output ;
      end ;
   run ;
   ods listing close ;
   ods rtf body = "c:\junk\test.rtf" ;
   proc print data = w ;
      var x ;
   run ;
   ods rtf close ;
   ods listing ;

   filename q "c:\junk\test.rtf" ;
   data _null_ ;
      file q mod ;
      set w ;
      put _all_  ;
   run ;

Of course, I got similar notes in the log.  When I used an ASCII
editor to look at the file the new material was at the bottom
of the file.  When I opened the file in WORD the bottom lines
were ignored, as one might expect, when raw text is added to an RTF
file.
