My concern in this discussion is the *reason* why the original poster wnated to clear the output window in the middle of the data step. Was he running some iterative process which was swamping the output window? If so, then we should be discussing the use of ODS to turn off the output listing for a while, until it is time to turn it back on:

ods listing close;

/* SAS code which fills up the output window */

ods listing;

Or other uses of ODS to *control* which objects are selected.
