Bart,
If you are using ods output you normally catch a table
if you want a hello world (but is it really only what you are waiting?)
there is another possibility to obtain it

look at the following code
ods listing close;
ods html body="c:\temp\outdata.htm";
title "world hello";
data _null_;
set sashelp.class;
   file print  ods=(var=(  fir(format=$20.)   name age));
   fir="Hello World!";

    put fir name age _ods_;
    run;
ods html close;
ods listing;;

In your code,liking in producing series of graph,sas is incrementing
a number for each new output object produced.

HTH
Andre
