Hello,
I've read a couple different posts on this topic and I'm still not sure why I'm not receiving any output. I'm using SAS On Demand.
Here's my code:
proc contents data="/home/USERNAME/EPG1V2/data/storm_summary.sas7bdat";
run;
(where username is my actual user id).
I copied and pasted the file path from properties.
I receive no warnings in the my log but I see no table describing the contents of the data as shown in the instructional video.
Well, that's weird. The "NOTE" in the log indicates that everything went fine. I haven't used Studio for a while (I'm using Enterprise Guide as my interface), but I don't remember anything tricky about finding the output.
I might try:
1. Closing studio, re-opening studio, and then re-try running the Proc Contents.
2. It could be that maybe your ODS (Output Delivery System) has some screwy setting. Before your Proc Contents, insert the following
ODS Listing;
ODS HTML;
ODS HTML Exclude None;
It should look something like this:
ODS Listing;
ODS HTML;
ODS HTML Exclude None;
proc contents data="/home/USERNAME/EPG1V2/data/storm_summary.sas7bdat";
run;
That might be redundant to use ODS HTML twice, but hopefully that will "turn on" some of the output destinations if for some reason they are not active. If you get any weird messages regarding ODS, try removing one or the other of the ODS HTML statements.

Thank you both. When I restarted, my results tab was small and in a weird place!
Good news: We've extended SAS Hackathon registration until Sept. 12, so you still have time to be part of our biggest event yet – our five-year anniversary!
What’s the difference between SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Studio? How are they similar? Just ask SAS’ Danny Modlin.
