Subject:      ods output with data _null_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi,

When I run the following code:

ods listing close;
ods html close;
ods trace on;
data _null_;
  file print;
  put 'Hello World!';
run;

I see in the log:

Output Added:
-------------
Name:       FilePrint1
Label:      FilePrint1
Data Name:  BatchOutput
Path:       Datastep.FilePrint1

Now I want to get this output into a data set using ods output.
So I can do: ods output FilePrint1=work.mydata;
But the next time I run this code, the name of the output added is
FilePrint2, and then FilePrint3 and so on.
Is there a way to get the output into the data set, regardless of the
output object's name?

Cheers,
Bart.
