how to create physical graphic file but do not want to display on screen

MrE — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:40:19 GMT

I want to create physical file
but do not want to display that graph on screen.

Note that when I use "goptions nodisplay", The physical files did not created.

I used example code below;

ods listing;
filename outfiles "C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\Image\graph1.GIF";
goptions reset =all gsfname=outfiles device=gif gsfmode=replace;

goptions display;

proc greplay; run;

Here is a way to a solution for you

[pre]
proc gslide;
title "test";
run;
quit;
ods listing;
filename outfiles "d:\temp\image1.GIF";
goptions reset =all gsfname=outfiles device=gif gsfmode=replace;
ods noresults;
proc greplay nofs igout=work.gseg;
replay _first_;
run;
quit;
ods results;

[/pre]

indeed goptions nodisplay did not produce a file
but for the replay step you may forbid the output on the screen
