Hi there!

 

I'm working with a data set that has 573 observations and consists of 10 variables. In the code below, I'm trying to remove some of the elements from my output In the log, I'm getting a blue note that says, "NOTE: ODS statements in the SAS Studio environment may disable some output features." Will the approach (included below) I'm taking not work in SAS Studio?

 

* Step 2: Perform a Chi-Square Test and Save the Results *;
ODS TRACE ON;
PROC FREQ DATA = work.Analysis;
TABLES HypRelDeathInd * StateCd / NOPERCENT NOROW NOCUM CHISQ;
RUN;
ODS TRACE OFF;

ODS OUTPUT CrossTabFreqs = Rslt.StatePercents
(KEEP = StateCd HypRelDeathInd Frequency Colpercent
WHERE = (HypRelDeathInd = 1 AND MISSING(StateCd) = 0));

ODS OUTPUT ChiSq = WORK.ChiSqResults
(DROP = TABLE
WHERE = (Statistic = 'Chi Square'));

Hi: Other classmates have posted about this SAME issue. You all are making the SAME mistake. Please remember that the ODS OUTPUT statement must go BEFORE the PROC FREQ step, not AFTER. You need ODS to OUTPUT the data set from PROC FREQ while the procedure is running. Putting the ODS OUTPUT statement AFTER the PROC FREQ step will NOT work.
