Subject:      The answer - Re: Howto: Programmatically clear the Results window

I recieved the following very prompt response from SAS (Paul Kent):

Hey Mark,

We don't have a good answer for v8.0 of SAS - this was one of those
things we realised too late.  your only option there is to run your sas
job as a batch job not using display manager.

in v8.1 and onwards we have added

 ODS NORESULTS;
  ...

and

 ODS RESULTS;
  ...

that turn the results window on and off - ODS NORESULTS doesn't
actually close the window, it just stops sending notifications about
the output objects, so the results window receives no updates until you
say ODS RESULTS to enable that functionality again...



8.1 is available - your site rep should be able to contact SAS tech
support and request it...


Hope this helps,
Paul
