I want to create an OUTBOX data set with PROC BOXPLOT but I don't now want ANY graphics output.
I used GOPTIONS NODISPLAY; But I get some unwanted WARNINGs and I'm too lazy today to experiment with the other options I need.
An option like NOPRINT like in other PROCs would be nice.
hi ... I tried this in both 9.2 and 9.3 ...
goptions reset=all nodisplay;
ods graphics off;
proc boxplot data=sashelp.class;
plot age*sex / outbox = xyz;
run;
and got ...
68 goptions reset=all nodisplay;
69 ods graphics off;
70
71 proc boxplot data=sashelp.class;
72 plot age*sex / outbox = xyz;
73 run;
NOTE: Processing beginning for PLOT statement number 1.
NOTE: There were 19 observations read from the data set SASHELP.CLASS.
NOTE: The data set WORK.XYZ has 16 observations and 4 variables.
NOTE: PROCEDURE BOXPLOT used (Total process time):
real time 0.07 seconds
cpu time 0.07 seconds
and no graphics output (OUTBOX is neat ... tranpsosed PROC SUMMARY output)
another idea that worked ...
goptions reset=all device=png gsfname=temp;
ods graphics off;
filename temp dummy;
proc boxplot data=sashelp.class;
plot age*sex / outbox = xyz;
run;
