In an effort to modernize the look of SAS® output, showcase our new graphics capabilities, and create seamless results for tables and graphs, SAS output will have a new look beginning in SAS® 9.3. These changes will take place in the SAS windowing environment for Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems.

Note: The default behavior for batch processing and MVS has not changed.

Changes to the windowing environment include:

• ODS HTML is the default destination for all output.
• The default style is the new HTMLBLUE style.
• ODS Graphics is enabled by default.
• By default, graphs created by ODS Graphics are stored in the WORK library.

You can set SAS to the pre-SAS 9.3 behavior in one of three ways. These are described below:

1. From the SAS menu bar, select Tools ► Options ► Preferences. Click on the Results tab, and do the following:
   1. Under Listing, check the Create listing option.
   2. Under HTML, clear the Create HTML option.
   3. Under Results options, clear the Use ODS Graphics option.

   These changes will be stored in the SAS registry.

2. Submit the statements below from the SAS Enhanced Editor window or the Program Editor window, or add the statements below to the beginning of your SAS code:
   ods graphics off; ods html close; ods listing; options odsstyle=default;
3. Specify the options below in your SAS 9.3 configuration file or when invoking SAS 9.3:
   -odsgraphics off -odsdest listing -odsstyle default
