I just recently had this problem - my issue was any procedure that printed output. Try typing end; in the command bar while on the output window - I was able to force my way through the print parts that way, but ultimately it was an environment setting. I opened a second instance of SAS. The second instance had to use a default profile since I was already using my profile in the first instance (message NOTE: Unable to open SASUSER.PROFILE. WORK.PROFILE will be opened instead.NOTE: All profile changes will be lost at the end of the session.). Printing procedures worked as expected in the second instance of SAS - and the program ran faster in the second instance for some reason. From there I was able to compare my environment settings to see what was different between the 2 profiles -- which was a waste of time. 🙂 It was a preference that had been reset somehow. I unclicked "Create listing" within Tools->Preferences->Results and that worked for me. But try a second SAS instance and then at least you will know if a saved profile\enviro setting is the issue.
