Syntax Description
- HTML
-
specifies that HTML
(TAGSET.HTML4) is the default output destination in the SAS Windowing
environment on the Microsoft Windows and UNIX operating systems.
- LISTING
-
specifies that the
LISTING destination is the default output destination.
- AUTO

settings determine the default destination setting. This setting is
HTML by default in SAS 9.3 in the SAS Windowing environment for the
UNIX and Microsoft Windows operating systems. HTML 4.0 is the HTML
version supported by default.
Note: In SAS 9.3, HTML output in
the SAS Windowing environment is the default for Microsoft Windows
and UNIX, but not for other operating systems and not in batch mode.
When you run SAS in batch mode or on other operating systems, the
LISTING destination is open and is the default, ODS Graphics is not
enabled by default, and the default style for HTML output is Styles.Default.
Details
At SAS session startup,
you can change the default output destination by adding ODSDEST= to
the configuration file. If you do not configure the ODSDEST= option,
the default destination is taken from the Registry setting. In SAS
9.3, HTML is the default registry setting for the SAS Windowing environment
in the Microsoft Windows and UNIX operating systems. The LISTING destination
is the default output destination for all other environments and operating
systems.
