You can try in your config file

-nodmsexp

From the online help:
"By default, SAS log and procedure output (if any)
appear on your display as each step executes. "



This is the scl for a frame I have which allows me to
do straight Base SAS programming while in my AF
session. The output window is explicitly called and
when it's closed it goes back to the frame:


PRVW:
 call wregion(5,5,10,70);
             rc=preview('EDIT');
                       submit continue;
                              options pageno=1;
                                      endsubmit;
                                      return;



RUNBUT:
 call execcmdi('out');
              return;

               HTH
