DISPLAY | NODISPLAY

Details

In most cases, NODISPLAY suppresses all output except the catalog entry written to the catalog selected in the GOUT= option. Therefore, you usually specify NODISPLAY when you want to generate a graph in a catalog but do not want to display the graph on your monitor or terminal while the catalog entry is being produced.

Be careful how you use NODISPLAY when you are creating a graphics stream file (GSF). If you use GACCESS= to create the GSF, NODISPLAY prevents SAS/GRAPH from writing to the file. However, if you use GSFNAME= to create the GSF, NODISPLAY does not affect the creation of the GSF.
