Hi....
I am glad that others, primarily Art T., were able to provide Lokesh
with insights/solutoins to this problem.
I'd like, however, to clarify a couple of points, please.
First, the ODS TRACE ON/ODS TRACE OFF commands do not impact what
tables/objects are generated by PROC steps and subsequently "handed
off" to the Output Delivery System. These commands just write the
table name info in to the SASLOG. Using ODS TRACE ON/LISTING; (which
I prefer) writes the table info in to the LISTING destiantion (i.e.,
your output window). A third approach to finding the table names is
to look in the Procedure documentation; all ODS-compliant procedures
list the tables it can produce in the "ODS Table Names" sub-chapter.
So, ODS TRACE ON/ODS TRACE OFF is not required to obtain the desired
output.
Examples of these three approaches are presented in my "Steps to
Success with the SAS Output Delivery System" tutorial, copies of which
as a PDF are available for free download from the "User Group
Presentations" section of my web site at http://www.sierrainformation.com
Second, using an ODS SELECT or ODS EXCLUDE statement "picks" the
procedure-generated tables that will be generated and handed off to
ODS for subsequent processing. These statements do not control the
contents of these tables. The contents of the tables are controlled
by Procedure-specific defaults and options.
Last, you can select the "parts" (rows and/or columns) of the
procedure generated tables when you use the OUTPUT destination to have
ODS "deliver" them to a permanent or temporary SAS data set. The
"selecting" or "shaping" is accomplished by using a KEEP or DROP data
set option to pick the columns/variables and/or a WHERE clause data
set opption to pick the rows you want in the output data set. As a
practical matter, it's probably best to run through this process once
WITHOUT a KEEP/DROP or WHERE clause so you understand what the default
contents of the data set is BEFORE you go about "shaping it" to your
exact needs.
Hope this helps...
