Hello alltogether,

 

I want to run proc factor with a correlation matrix with more then 150 items as input dataset.

Regarding the results of proc factor I need two datasets:

1. outstat=data1

2. ods output orthrotfactpat=data2 

 

I would like to reduce or even better avoid the output of proc factor.

But when using the NOPRINT option I don't get the ods output.

Is there any way to reduce or avoid the ouput of proc factor, but to get the datasets data1 and data2?

 

This is the syntax I use:

        proc factor  score  data = correlationmatrix (TYPE=CORR) method = PRINCIPAL  priors = ONE  rotate = PROMAX
                                      nobs = totalNumberObservation nfactors = NumberFactors  noprint  outstat = data1;
        ods output orthrotfactpat = data2;
        run;

 

Thanks for your help!

Just now I found an solution somewhere else in this community:
ods exclude all;
proc factor;...
run;
ods exclude none;

It works!
Thank you very much!

You can't use NOPRINT with ODS OUTPUT

 

Remove the NOPRINT option, try this

 

ods listing select none;

proc factor ...

run;

ods listing select all;

Hello

 

thanks for your answer.

 

But I get an error message with your syntax.

ERROR: The LISTING destination is not active; no select/exclude lists are available.

What do I have to do?
