Is there a way to suppress datasets from appearing in enterprise guide when I use Proc Copy?

Hi there I have a program with two proc copy statements in it. Each time I run it, it outputs a data table as per each statement and often these tables get 'thrown' on my workspace canvas in weird places, which I have to move back into a certain position. I prefer to work with auto-arrange off since I have a complex process flow. I want to know if I can run the program without any tables appearing. Proc Copy doesn't seem to have that option to suppress the output. This would save me a lot of headache.

IU have tried modifying my select to use ods select exclude all with no avail.

Thanks in advance.

If possible for your work, clear the destination libname at the end of your PROC COPY step.

libname dest clear;

Then EG will not detect the "newly created" data sets as it gathers results.
