how to turn off automatic opening of rtf document with ODS

Damien — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:55:06 GMT

I'm using SAS 9.4 and I create many different rtf document with a macro in SAS using ODS features.

But, after creating a rtf document on my hard drive, SAS automatically opened it. It quickly run out my memory. How can I switch off the automatic opening.

For example:

DATA CLASS;

INPUT NAME $ 1-8 SEX $ 10 AGE 12-13 HEIGHT 15-16 WEIGHT 18-22;

CARDS;

JOHN M 12 59 99.5

JAMES M 12 57 83.0

ALFRED M 14 69 112.5

ALICE F 13 56 84.0

;

ods rtf file= "D:\TestSAS\OUT\_test.rtf" ;

PROC MEANS;

VAR AGE HEIGHT WEIGHT;

PROC PLOT;

PLOT WEIGHT*HEIGHT;

quit ;

ods rtf close ;

will automatically open the _test.rtf document in Microsoft word

Thank you for your help,

all the best,

Damien.

Hi:

Go to Tools --> Options --> Preferences ---> Results tab. On the Results Tab, look for the check box that says: "View results as they are generated" -- make sure that you clear the check mark that appears in that box. That should stop SAS from automatically launching Word when the RTF file has been generated.
