Change the style of my output

greesamu — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 16:17:16 GMT

Howdy! I'm using the exact same version of SAS on two different devices but the output looks completely different between the two.

I really don't like the formatting pictured first, and want to change it to look like the second picture. I'm having trouble searching for the answer because I can't find the words to describe what's wrong.

Ugly, don't want this.Pretty, do want this.

The first output you have the default results set to ODS LISTING destination and the second is the default HTML.
Set your preferences to use ODS HTML as the default output type instead of listing - this is a Tools/Preferences change that depends exactly on which tool you're using, ie it's in a different place in EG/Studio/Base

Google tool + change default output destination

Thanks!!

The code I found was

ods listing close;

ods html;

and it worked like a charm!

Yes but then you have to put that in every program and every session. If you want the change to persist across sessions you should change it in preferences/settings.
