Data_null_;

Thanks again. I was trying to set page break once I hit a sepcial string. this time I get the output much closer to the original one. thank you for the hint. I have one more question for you. I want to increase the pagesize for each page. I tried option pagesize=. it dose no effect to the output PDF file. I tried to set the topmargin= and bottommargin=, same thing this option dosen't affect output too.

do you know is there anyway to increase the pagesize or reset the default pagesize for ODS PDF ?

Thank you so much!
