Suppress directory output in PROC Datasets in SAS EG

Hey all!

Long time Base SAS user, recently moved to SAS EG.

I have a program (a lot of programs actually...) that has an extensive PROC DATASETS in it. Since moving to EG, it has started kicking out a long list of directory information to my output file. I'm not using ODS code at the moment to control which output goes directly to my final output file (that's a whole 'nother conversation...). So, how do I suppress the output from PROC DATASETS within the Datasets procedure?

NOLIST option in the proc datasets statement.

I typically add both NODETAILS and NOLIST to the PROC DATASETS statement.

Thank you!

I should have listened to Google in the first place. When I tried to type in "PROC Datasets noprint" it came back with "Did you mean PROC Datasets nolist?" Apparently even Google knew the right answer.
