From: Paul Kent on 16 Feb 2010 17:31 Ron (and others on SAS-L) This doesn't make sense. Something in a configuration somewhere has turned ODS LISTING OFF; in your scenario. By default, SAS has always run starting with ODS LISTING; and we would not change that on purpose. If Ron could email me a tracking number, I'll followup ASAP. I just don't want to alarm everyone else until we get to the bottom of whats turning it OFF at the CDC.

From: Tom Abernathy on 16 Feb 2010 18:12 I think there is something in the air that is turning this off. I had a user today with the same problem that we "solved" by having him make a whole new SASUSER directory. Kind of a sledge hammer approach to the actual problem. Looking at his non-working SASUSER library with PROC REGISTRY it appears that he turned off the listing destination, but we have no idea how. Here is the lines from the dump from PROC REGISTRY.

From: Nancy Brucken on 18 Feb 2010 02:27 Hi Tom, Slightly OT, but is there a way to turn off the Results Viewer somewhere in the default configuration? We had that set in 9.1.3 somehow, but recently switched to 9.2, and it has come back. I've got it turned off in my profile, but the way our Citrix installation is configured, when running multiple SAS sessions, the profile is only in effect for the first one, and it's really annoying to have to remember to go into Tools, Preferences and turn it off every time I start up a new session.

From: Tom Abernathy on 18 Feb 2010 08:47 Nancy - In a program you can turn it off with ODS LISTING CLOSE statement. What I do to avoid SAS's inability to have multiple processes writing to the same SASUSER profile is to use the -RSASUSER option when I start SAS. This will make the SASUSER library readonly and all your sessions will start with the same keys and other user preferences. Does cause a little trouble with some SAS tools like NOTEPAD that assume they will have write access to SASUSER. You might be able to work out a way to copy your PROFILE to the WORK.PROFILE that SAS creates when it cannot get write access to SASUSER.PROFILE. I am not sure if you can read from the SASUSER.PROFILE in that situation, but perhaps you could store a copy somewhere and read from that. Not sure if you need to use PROC COPY, PROC CATALOG or PROC REGISTRY to make the copy. I am not sure how to change the template that SAS uses when it sees that it cannot write to SASUSER.PROFILE. I do not have to deal with installs. - Tom On Feb 18, 2:27 am, bruc...(a)PROVIDE.NET (Nancy Brucken) wrote: > Hi Tom, > > Slightly OT, but is there a way to turn off the Results Viewer somewhere > in the default configuration?

There are a couple of ODS statements potentially in play here, assuming you can use an AUTOEXEC.SAS or a suitable substitute (such as the -INITSTMT option). As Tom notes, ODS LISTING CLOSE; can be used to close the listing destination -- useful if you have moved beyond that. ODS RESULTS OFF; will specifically turn off having ODS output go to the Results window.
