Double-spaced output

Sarah-R — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 16:08:15 GMT

I get double-spaced output (for example, proc compare output) when I batch submit on SAS 9.4. Interactive submission of SAS programs works fine, and is producing single-spaced output.

Is anyone experiencing the same issue when you batch submit your programs on SAS 9.4?

Anyone know a solution to making batch submission produce single-spaced output like the interactive submission?

Are you getting this behavior for the sas log as well as the sas print output?

How are you viewing the files generated by your batch (background) run?

Perhaps your viewer is just wrapping long lines?

Or treating the end-of-line characters as end-of-paragraph characters and so inserting a blank line between all of those "paragraphs".

Delete SAS profile files, and when a SAS program is run again, it will reproduce the profile files, and show the default setting of single-spaced output.
