Default tab to display (EG 8.3)

Hi all,

I'm a vivid user of the EG GUI en wizards and not so much a code guy. I knew my way around EG 7.1 very well but i'm still having some trouble getting back to the speed I had with building query's in 8.3.

One of the reasons is that a new tab is opened every time I create a new query builder. In the options under Results - General - Display results - Default tab to display: I have 'Current tab'. When I run an existing query builder, it turns yellow, green, finishes and nothing happens, perfect. But when I create a new query builder and press run or save and close, a new tab opens and focus switches to that tab... (I also tried turning "Move focus to the tab that is displayed" off, doesn't change anything)

Is this as designed? Am i missing something? I don't want anything to open automatically, not even a new tab. Why would I want to look at a table, code or log when there are no errors or warnings anyway? I know what my output looks like, I just created it. most of the time it's thousands of records and if I want to verify the output quality I will make a new query builder and use a count/sum/distinct etc to verify.

Update:

I thought i found it!... But it didn't work 😓
The setting under the Options - Data - Performance menu: When output tables are genered, automatically open: last table, first table, no table

It seemed to work, but I think I modified an existing query builder, that's when the new tab won't open.

But when a new output table is created it always opens, it just want EG to do nothing 😔

I hope someone understands my frustration, and I hope i'm just missing some sort of option combination

140 views but no reply's. I understand that no one has the solution, but I am guessing no one has a problem with this behavior as well?. Or atleast does not share my frustration. Maybe I'll contact SAS directly and suggest it as a bug.

I definitely share your frustration. Multiple useless tabs just creates a lot of noise with no substance.
