Dropping freqplot from saving to my output folder

How do I stop frqplot output from getting saved to my output folder automatically.

proc freq data=new3 order=data;
table Week / NOCUM plots=freqplot;
run;

Hi:
Well, I'd tell you to use
ODS GRAPHICS OFF;

but it looks like you're explicitly asking for the FREQPLOT in your code. What do you want to do with the plot? Is there an alternate place you want to save it? If so, then you've got to tell us what destination(s) you have turned on. By default, ODS GRAPHICS writes to the PATH= or GPATH= location for your open destination(s). Without showing any ODS statements that implies you are using the default destination. The default destination can be different depending on how you are using SAS. So what do you want to have happen to the FREQPLOT?

Yes, So, I am using ODS Word for my output report and I have the graph printed in the word document but, at the same time the freqplot.png is getting saved automatically which I dont want to happen. Is there another code that I can use to have frequency table with freq graph?

I do have a default folder in C:\ , and i have used ODS GRAPHICS OFF but, it didnt drop the freqplot.png from saving automatically to the default folder.

Do you happen to have other destinations open or just your WORD/RTF destination?

There's usually the default ODS though, either listing or HTML depending on your set up. If you haven't turned those off then SAS is still generating output to your Results window which is why you're still getting files.
