Suppressing output from Results window

DocMartin — Mon, 31 Oct 2016 19:51:51 GMT

I'm running a regression procedure 30,000 times. By using the following I've been able to suppress all logs, listing, & HTML:

ods html close ;
ods listing close; 
options nosource nonotes;

Here's the regression equation code:

 proc reg data = hr_reg ; 
model hr = timepoint;
title "Regression of hr on time";
 ods output ParameterEstimates=beta FitStatistics = rsquare; 
run; 
quit;

Even though the output is suppressed, the Results window continues to accumulate "beta" & "rsquare" SAS data sets. Is there any way to prevent that from occurring? Thanks! Andrew

Follow the instructions in the article "Turn off ODS when running simulations in SAS."

And since I don't see a BY statement in your code, I also suggest that you read "Simulation in SAS: The slow way or the BY way"

If you intend to do a lot of simulation in SAS, you might want to read the paper "Ten Tips for Simulating Data with SAS" (Wicklin, 2015)

Rick, Thanks! That did the trick. I'll try by-processing rather than a macro loop. BTW: This isn't a simulation but actual data. Best, Andrew
