Specifying Titles

To add titles to your output, you can use the TITLE statement.

General form, TITLE statement:

TITLEn 'title-text';

where n is a number from 1 to 10 that specifies the title line and title-text is the actual title to be displayed.

Be sure to match quotes enclosing the title text.

The PROC PRINT step below contains two TITLE statements, specified for lines 1 and 3.
proc print data=clinic.stress noobs; var resthr maxhr rechr; where tolerance='I'; title1 'Data from Treadmill Tests'; title3 '1st Quarter Admissions'; run;

Sample Output
Titles appear at the top of each page of procedure output. The TITLE statement with the largest number appears on the last title line.

In SAS listing output, "skipped" title lines appear blank, as shown in the output below.

Modifying and Canceling Titles

Redefining a title line cancels any higher-numbered title lines.

To cancel all previous titles, specify a null TITLE statement (a TITLE statement with no number or text).
