ODS report opening automatically

RahulG — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 11:02:24 GMT

ODF PDF FILE ="c:\OUTPUT_RESULT&NM.PDF";

PROC COMPARE BASE=OLD COMPARE=NEW;
RUN;

ODS PDF CLOSE;

I am running the above code in Base SAS window. After successfull execution, a pdf file containing proc compare result is opened automatically on my windows machine.

My problem is when I running this code through macro and creating 10 compare pdf report then 10 PDF files are opened automatically on my system.

I do want pdf file to open itself on my machine. Please let me know, if I need to invoke any option.

Go to Tools - Options - Settings - Results. There is an option for automatically opening results.

Thanks it worked.

Small correction.

Go to Tools - Options - Preferences - Results

Uncheck - View Result as they are generated
