The default behavior for the SAS® windowing environment under Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems has changed beginning with SAS 9.3 as described in this usage note. Two of the changes that can affect the execution time of your program are discussed below. The effect of using the Results window is also discussed.
In SAS 9.3 and later, if you are not interested in producing ODS graphs with your analyses, you can disable ODS Graphics. You can also send results to the Listing destination rather than the HTML destination. These statements disable ODS Graphics, close the HTML destination, and open the Listing destination.
ods graphics off; ods html close; ods listing;
Later in your SAS session, if you want to enable ODS Graphics and produce HTML results, submit the following statements:
ods listing close; ods html; ods graphics on;
If you want to change the default in the SAS windowing environment so that you do not need to submit these statements every time you initialize SAS, click Tools ⇒ Options ⇒ Preferences in the menu bar at the top of the main SAS window. In the Preferences window that appears, select the Results tab. Check the "Use ODS Graphics" box to have ODS Graphics enabled by default or clear the box to have ODS Graphics disabled by default. Check the "Use listing" or the "Use HTML" box, or both if desired, to have results displayed in the Listing destination (Output window) and/or the HTML destination (browser, either internal or external, determined by the "View results using" selection).
On a related note, when you process a large number of BY groups in a procedure, accumulating the results for each BY group in the Results window can increase the processing time significantly. You might want to disable the accumulation of results in the Results window by the submitting the following statement before running the procedure:
ods noresults;
To re-enable the accumulating of the results in the Results window, submit the following statement:
ods results;
