Problem Note 41584: The SAS/GRAPH® GDDM device drivers ignore the NODISPLAY graphics option with SAS® 9.2
In SAS 9.2, all of the SAS/GRAPH GDDM device drivers ignore the NODISPLAY option on the GOPTIONS statement. This includes display device drivers such as the GDDM79 driver, as well as printer drivers such as the GDDM4224 driver. This means that all of the SAS/GRAPH GDDM device drivers in SAS 9.2 will always produce actual graphics output, even when NODISPLAY is specified on the GOPTIONS statement.
For example, the following code does not write an output graphics file to SYSOUT with SAS 9.1.3, but does generate the file with SAS 9.2:
goptions reset=all device=gddm4224 gddmn=ibm4224 nodisplay;
proc gchart data=sashelp.class;
vbar age / discrete;
run;
quit;
