Open RTF file automatically After Program run issues.

[SASuserlot]

I am using the SAS 9.4. I would like to  open the rtf files once they generated after running the program. I am having issue some times it opens sometimes its not. Is it related to program or the Preferences setting issue. I tried checking and unchecking the box "View the results as generated" but no use. Any one can help what's happening here.

I am afraid that you may need to show the LOG from one of the instances when the file does not open automatically.

One likely cause is that you already have the same named RTF file open in some program. The log will show an "in use" warning. All the other output such as Listing or HTML in results would still appear but the RTF won't "open" because it is open.

Here is my log, please ignore my date7 note in the log.

Remove the ODS NORESULTS statement.

The way that all the ODS output destinations work is in effect that the results are sent to the destination. When you use no results then NO ods results get sent so no file is created. If you check the creation time on your output RTF file, assuming you have created one with the same name, the time will not match the time you run the program.

I tried removing the ods noresult statment ( in log there is a comment) , its still not opening. I tried sending one graph plot to ods output, its not worked . In my code i just used one file name to ods output and sending all the plot into that file.

I forgot mention: you need to run ODS Results; to turn it back on.
