I am using npar1way to get Kolmogorov–Smirnov statistics and want to get the empirical distribution functions as well. However, I am already using ods listing close and ods results=off to suppress both output and results as follows.

data have;
	do i=1 to 5;
		do j=1,2;
			do k=1 to 20;
				x=rannor(1);
				output;
			end;
		end;
	end;
run;

ods listing close;
ods results=off;

proc npar1way edf d plots=edf;
	by i;
	class j;
	var x;
	ods output ks2stats=out;
run;

ods results=on;
ods listing;

I want to use ods listing gpath="!userprofile\desktop\" and ods graphics/imagename="edf" to draw the five (for i=1 to 5) pictures—with output and results still suppressed. Where should I locate the ods listing gpath then? Thanks.

In general, there is no need to close an ODS destination (such as LISTING) if your goal is to suppress the output. Instead, the preferred way to suppress output is to use 

ODS EXCLUDE ALL;

before the procedure call and use 

ODS EXCLUDE ALL;

after the procedure call. That way, you can use additional calls to ODS SELECT and ODS OUPUT to manage the tables and graphs.

This is what I found. ods select edfplot alters ods listing close here.

ods select edfplot;
ods graphics on;
ods listing gpath="!userprofile\desktop\";
ods results=off;

proc npar1way edf d plots=edf;
	by i;
	class j;
	var x;
	ods output ks2stats=out;
run;

ods results=on;
ods listing gpath=none;
ods graphics off;
ods select all;

I am not sure whether this is best, but this works.
