If I'm using a macro to create an identical report for 50 different programs, how can I stop all 50 .rtf files from opening when ods rtf close; occurs?
This is the ODS / PROC report code inside the macro:
OPTIONS NODATE NONUMBER;
ODS RTF FILE="C:\PROGRAM_PEER_CIP_ &CIP_NUMBER _RESULTS.RTF";
TITLE "Potential Peer Institutions for &CIP_NUMBER - &CIP_NAME";
title2 "&TOTAL_SELECTED out of &SAMPLE Selected using CAB AND Hanover Scoring Algorithm on CIP data";
PROC REPORT DATA=RESULTS PS=60 LS=110 MISSING SPLIT='\' NOWINDOWS;
run;
ODS RTF CLOSE;
We need run this for 50 CIPs and need each in it's own report. But we don't want/need everything to open automatically after the process is completed.
Thank you, Reeza!
This appears to have worked (from the other thread): I changed the preferences in Tools>Options>Preferences>results and unchecked the "View results as they are generated" - it worked perfectly.
Greg,
ods noresults;
ODS RTF FILE="C:\PROGRAM_PEER_CIP_ &CIP_NUMBER _RESULTS.RTF";
TITLE "Potential Peer Institutions for &CIP_NUMBER - &CIP_NAME";
title2 "&TOTAL_SELECTED out of &SAMPLE Selected using CAB AND Hanover Scoring Algorithm on CIP data";
PROC REPORT DATA=RESULTS PS=60 LS=110 MISSING SPLIT='\' NOWINDOWS;
run;
ODS RTF CLOSE;
ods results;
the reports are silently written.
i hope this way solves your needs too.
At the end, you open the report outside SAS.

Thank you, Andre.
