Why doesn't SAS Studio display my output?

[rbettinger]

I am writing SAS/IML code and executing it but SAS/Studio does not display my results n the RESULTS window. For example,

here is a simple IML program that demonstrates my situation:

options nonotes source ;
proc iml ; 
reset storage=fuzzylib.fuzzylib ;

a = 1 : 11 ;
a[ 5 ] = . ;
b = dif( a )`  ; print b ;
c = dif( a, 1 )` ; print c ;
d = dif( a, 1, 1 )` ; print d ;
e = d <= 0 ; print e ;
quit ;

Nothing fancy. Here is what SAS/Studio says:

and I don't understand what happened. As the plaintive programmer's lament goes, "But it was running this morning!" And it was. Have I exceeded some hidden limitation? I logged out of the session completely and logged back in but there was no change in SAS/Studio's nonresponse.

Please help.

[Reeza]

Reset your SAS session.

 82         ODS HTML CLOSE;
 83         &GRAPHTERM; ;*';*";*/;RUN;QUIT;
 84         QUIT;RUN;
 85         ODS HTML5 (ID=WEB) CLOSE;
 86         

Looks like the output is being closed for some reason. 

[rbettinger]

Thank you, Reeza, for a quick response. My simple program worked, but a more complex program did not. Same nonresponse of Results. I will log out again and restart from scratch. Maybe all it takes is time?

[Reeza]

I notice you're using a few option statements, perhaps there's something in there affecting the output.

[rbettinger]

I commented-out the "OPTIONS NONOTES SOURCE ;" code (see below)

***options nonotes source ;
proc iml ; 
a = { 1 2 3 , 4 5 6} ;
print a ;
print (a[,]);
quit ;

and got the same raspberry as before:

so I will let my account rest overnight. Perhaps the poor thing is tired after a day of active use. Thanks for your help, Reeza

[Kurt_Bremser · Accepted solution]

Your first OPTIONS statement should suppress the printing of all code up to line 69. The fact that this does not happen points to something which put your SAS session into an unrecoverable state. Think unbalanced quotes, incomplete macro definition (missing %MEND) or similar. Start a new session, and make sure before each code submission that it does not cause one of the above.

[rbettinger]

Thanks, Kurt! You hit the nail right on the head.Inserting a %MEND is what I needed to (sorry) mend my error :^|
