Ods output delete SAS System title

I have used an ODS output to PDf of a freq table inspite of using the noptitle it still prints SAS System on the top.

the code is

options nodate center nonumber ; 
ods noptitle ;

ods pdf file="Z:\temp.pdf" ;
ods proclabel="The totals";

proc freq data=compulsion;  
tables year; 
label year="year of the child";
;run;
ods pdf close;

But still I get the main title as "The SAS System", how to delete this title?

Solution

  • Just use an empty title statement, that removes all manual or automatically assigned titles (simple but it works):

    options nodate center nonumber ; 
ods noptitle ;
ods pdf file="Z:\temp.pdf" ;
ods proclabel="The totals";
title;/*<-reset all titles or overwrite it with wanted title*/
proc freq data=compulsion;  
tables year; 
label year="year of the child";
;run;
ods pdf close;

    Edit for clarification: noptitle only removes the title generated by the proc, like "The FREQ Procedure". "The Sas System" is a not proc-related title
