Hi,

When i am using proc compare in SAS EG i am getting the following warning.

PROC COMPARE BASE=Customers

METHOD=EXACT

OUT=Compcustomers

OUTBASE

OUTDIF

OUTNOEQUAL;

VAR LastNam;

WITH PrevLastNam;

RUN;

WARNING: No output destinations active.

Can you please let me know what causing this warning

The warning is that you have no destination active for the printed output of the proc

Given you are writing the results to the a dataset I assume you don't care or want listed output (if you do try LinLin response).

Add the following option NOPRINT

open EG

TOOLS--->options---->results

figure it out from there there

once you select output

it should fix your problem
