--Output in sas is only through a procedure, so OPTIONS
NOPRINT will disable the output universally, and might be
suitable for a batch run.
--It's advisible to use NOPRINT option with individual
procedures, such as
Proc sql noprint;
<sql >
quit; as it only supress the output for a particular proc.
--ODS listing close; can be used to disable output in
OUTPUT window of SAS session and redirect it to some
external file, if the o/p is not re-directed then we get a
warning in log as:
WARNING: No output destinations active.
--dm out 'clear'; is to clear the output window, it wont
suppress o/p while running a proc.
--The real intensio nof the question must be whether the
user know the technique to re-direct the o/p.

cheers!
