Extra sheets created when using tagsets.ExcelXP

Banoo — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 20:04:05 GMT

Hi Users,

I am using tagsets.ExcelXP to create 2 sheets which are data exceptions of 2 separate programs. Oddly, the program that I used to output the exceptions to sheet1 called "xx Log" also creates additional sheets such as "xx Log 2" and "xx Log 3". The information contained in these sheets include information pertaining to datasets created in work directory, file size, owner information, directory, henceforth. I want to suppress these additional sheets in my output. Thanks in advance.

Here is my code

ods tagsets.ExcelXP path="g:\&project.\validation\print\" file="Visual_Check_Sheets_%sysfunc(date(),yymmdd6.).xls" style=normal options(row_height_fudge='18');

%inc valsheet1;

%inc valsheet2;

ods tagsets.ExcelXP close;

Use sheet_interval to control opening a new sheet. The default is 'Table', if your queries have multiple outputs then multiple sheets are created. Set this to sheet_interval='none'

Whatever is causing the issue is likely in the %included programs that we can't see.
