Hi All,
I have a question about outputting 'usable' results.

I would like to have SAS output my results into a simple text file (or
something easy to manipulate) even .csv would be great.

I dislike the ODS output because of the junk code that SAS writes.

My question is, What 'simple' text formats can I have SAS output my
results to and how do I obtain these other formats?

Cheers,
M

Remove the ods statement, then run your code in batch, you will get
a .lst file, which is plain text file.

Depending on what types of procedure you're running, look for the
'out' statement in the procedure. This allows you to specificy your
output, save the output as a dataset, and then export it to excel,
csv, txt or a multitude of formats.
