Problem Note 14929: SAS 9.1.3 Service Pack 2 hangs when expanding results after ODS HTML used

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
After you run ODS HTML, SAS hangs if you attempt to expand the Results
Viewer. This issue occurs only on Windows platforms running SAS 9.1.3
Service Pack 2 (9.1.3 SP2)

An ODS example is listed below:

   ods html file='c:\temp\test.html';
   proc print data=sashelp.class;
   run;
   ods html close;


Currently, the only circumvention is to end the SAS session using
the Windows Task Manager.  To avoid this the next time right click
on the results and select Explore from Here.

In order to avoid the problem entirely, add the following statement to
your
code:

   ods noresults;

If you are not using ODS code and you see the same behavior, in SAS
click on Tools>Options>Preferences>Results and uncheck "Create HTML".


A fix for SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) for this issue is available at:
