Try the commands
LOG OFF
LISTING OFF
ICON
WINDOW defines a DATA Step window
DISPLAY displays a DATA Step window
%WINDOW defines a macro window
%DISPLAY displays a macro window.
Display can only display a window in proper scope.
A window defined in one data step is not available in a second data step
(unless you define it again in the second data step)
Likewise a %window defined in a macro is not available for %display after
the macro finishes.
You might also be interested in the NOINPUT option of the DISPLAY statement.
%macro foo;
%local X;
%window status rows=10 columns=10
@1#1 "X=" X
;
%do X = 1 %to 10;
%display status noinput;
data _null_;
do i = 1 to 1e8;
end;
run;
%end;
%mend;
%foo
