Generating XML files using the Code window with ODS in Enterprise Guide opens the file in the SAS Report Viewer, regardless of the extension on the file. This includes XML files generated by the EXCELXP destination, which are usually opened with Microsoft Excel.

The XML file generated from the step can be located by navigating to the path specified within the code rather than viewing the file in Enterprise Guide.
