ODS supports multiple
destinations for procedure output. The most frequently used destinations
are LISTING, HTML, RTF, and PDF, although many more destinations are
available.
ODS destinations can
be open or closed. When a destination is open, ODS can send output
to it, and when a destination is closed, ODS cannot send output to
it. You can have several destinations open at the same time, and SAS
will send output to each destination. The HTML destination is open
by default.
An open destination
always uses system resources. It is best to close any destinations
if you do not need the output from that destination.
The following table
lists the ODS destinations and the default type of output that results
from each destination.
