In Enterprise Guide, any output datasets (created in WORK or other LIBNAME) are, by default, displayed as output nodes emitting from the program or code node that generates them.

I have a relatively complex process that generates (by necessity) a TON of intermediate work datasets. I'd rather not kill them all as a part of the process ( I guess that's one solution).

Is there a way (through options or registry keys or devil magic) to suppress the display of these gajillion output datasets?

If you do not need all the internediate table you can delete the unwanted tables at the end of your program.

data new1 new2 new3 new4 new5;
  set sashelp.class;
run;

proc sql;
  drop table new1;
  drop table new2;
  drop table new3;
  drop table new4;
quit;

Unfortunately, I think that this is going to be the best solution for me. – jay.l.stevens♦ Jan 7 at 17:56

Im not sure you can supress the output of nodes unless you write some code to do that.

But to supress automatic showing of results it is:

Tools-Options
Project Views
Unclick "Show generated Results"
Ok

If you want to suppress the ODS statements for the SAS Workspace Server:

Add this line to the SAS\Enterprise Guide 4\SEGuide.exe.config file:

I got that from http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/gridref/62853/HTML/default/n17u3mlvl5nrr2n105ipo4vid1ma.htm

Sorry if I couldn't be of further help.
