Stat Procs creating .PNGs everywhere

[PruCelt68]

When I run SAS stat procedures (logistic, mixed, etc.) it saves a .PNG in one of the last folders I was in. I get many of these files saved all over the place in my folders. I want them to stop saving everywhere, but they seem to be like gremlins, taking over my computer.

I think Gremlins would be offended!

Just turn ODS GRAPHICS off at the start of your program if you don't want the graphics.

ods graphics off;

Or if you do want them make sure to say WHERE you want them.

If you don't need these output, you could just close them of all.

ods _all_ close;

If you need to display some output, use ODS SELECT.
