Solved: Re: How to use the Download generated data icon in SAS/Studio

I just noticed this Icon on the Results screen in SAS/Studio that is labeled Download generated data.

What is that supposed to do?

How would I "generate data" for it to download?

So I took a look at what FILEREFs SAS/Studio had defined for my SAS session.

proc print data=sashelp.vextfl width=min;
run;

And there was one named _DATAOUT.

So using a quick search, I was able to find a page that helps a little bit.

Which seems to have been generated in response to my earlier confusion about this feature.
