This approach appears not work not to work if one has multiple justifications in the title or footnote:

title1
j = l 'LEFT'
j = c 'CENTER'
j = r 'RIGHT'
;

ods pdf file = "O:\krviel\SAS\test1.pdf" ;

data _null_ ;
file print ;
put "Test1" ;
run ;

ods pdf close ;

data temp ;
set sashelp.vtitle ;
run ;

title ;
footnote ;

data _null_ ;

set temp ;
call execute( cat( "title"
, strip( put( number , 8. -L ))
, " "
, quote( strip( text ))
, " ;"
)
) ;
call symputx( "title1", text ) ;
run ;

ods pdf file = "O:\krviel\SAS\test1.pdf" ;

proc print
data = temp ;
run ;

title1 "&title1." ;

proc print
data = temp ;
run ;

ods pdf close ;

Thank you,
