Use the Preferences window
to set the result format or formats that you prefer. Your preferences
are saved until you modify them, and they apply to all output that
you create.
To open this window in desktop operating environments,
select Tools>Options>Preferences. Then click the Results tab.
Select either Listing or HTML,
or both. You can also specify options for displaying and storing your
results.
Tip
Results tab
options might differ somewhat, depending on your operating environment.
The example below is from the Windows operating environment.
The default settings
on the Results tab are as follows:
-
The Create listing check
box is not selected, so LISTING output is not created.
-
The Create HTML check
box is selected, so HTML output is created.
-
The Use WORK folder check
box is selected, so both HTML and graph image files are saved in the
WORK folder (and not your current directory).
-
The default style, HTMLBlue, is
selected from the Style drop-down list.
-
The Use ODS Graphics check
box is selected, so ODS Graphics is enabled.
-
Internal browser is
selected from the View results using drop-down
list, so results are viewed in an internal SAS browser.
If you create HTML files,
they are stored in the folder that you specify and are by default
incrementally named sashtml.htm, sashtml1.htm, sashtml2.htm, and so
on, throughout your SAS session.
There are two choices for viewing HTML results: Internal
Browser and Preferred Web Browser. (These options appear on the Results tab
only in the Windows operating environment.)
To view HTML output, select
either of these options on the Results tab
of the Preferences window in the Windows
operating environment:
-
Internal Browser, called the Results
Viewer window. SAS provides this browser as part of your
SAS installation. The Results Viewer is
displayed as a SAS window, as shown below.
-
Preferred
Web Browser. If you select this option, SAS uses the browser that
is specified on the Web tab of the Preferences window.
This is the default browser for your PC.
