Usage Note 12661: FOOTNOTE text written to OUTPUT window when ODS LISTING CLOSE specified
When BATCH procedures such as CALENDAR, CHART, COMPARE, FORMAT, FORMS,
PLOT, or TIMEPLOT are used in conjuntion with the ODS LISTING CLOSE
statement, footnotes are included in the LISTING destination. The
output from the procedures is omitted correctly, leaving only the
footnotes from the procedure in the output window.
The code below shows a workaround for the Windows and Unix platforms,
using the reserved "nul" (Windows) and "/dev/null" (UNIX).
On other platforms, the file created with file= will need to be deleted
using system specific commands.
/* workaround on Windows */
ods listing file="nul";
/* workaround on UNIX */
ods listing file="/dev/null";
proc chart data=sashelp.class;
vbar age;
footnote 'this should not be here';
run;
quit;
