Re: ODS HTML error - can't display output

Do you understand the code you're running here? There are few things that don't make sense and I'm wondering if you adapted your code for the forum and forgot to fix some things or are a new SAS user.

1. ODS LISTING is primarily on Base SAS and turning it off in SAS UE seems weird. If you've set it as your default setting you would have a path I assume but it shouldn't be at the top of the program or at the end. And even if you're using it you'll need to give it a path.

2. ODS TRACE has two values that usually follow it, ON/OFF, not OUTPUT. I can't find OUTPUT in the documentation so not sure what you're intending there or if it's needed. https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=odsproc&docsetTarget=p1fpt3uuow90o3n155hs7bp1mo7f.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en

3. Current_date() is not a valid SAS function. Valid functions are here, you can find what you need there, most likely the date function. https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=lefunctionsref&docsetTarget=n01f5qrjoh9h4hn1olbdpb5pr2td.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en
