Where do you want to direct your SAS-generated output? You can use PROC PRINTTO or ODS LISTING if you want to re-direct your output to an alternate file allocated with FILENAME.

Hi,

actually my problem is, when am running sas code on server, listing files are generated in the server which inturn occupying large amount of space on server. so i just dont want to generate listing files itself

If you have SAS code that is generating unneeded reports but you do not want to remove the code that is generating the reports, you can use:

ODS LISTING CLOSE;

Your listing file will be empty.
