In reply to CJ.

CJ, when you refer to "output" are you talking about logs and listing output? Or data? The default output for these have typically been set in startup options or using special PROC PRINTTO steps. If you use something like "%let outdata=" to control output before, that tells me that there is something in your code that should pick up on that value. Maybe that's no longer triggered with your update in place. We would need to see example code/log to determine what's going on. It might be a good question for communities.sas.com.
