ods trace off;
at the top of the program should suffice for the trace option.

I think having datasets created elsewhere will involve manual code changes .
. a libname statement and renaming all the data file code.

ie libname datafile 'G:\SASfiles';
data datafile.filename;
        set  oldfile, etc. . ..

will save the "filename" data to your G drive.
