Subject:   Preview Window automatically opens ODS HTML

I'm using ods html body=fully-specified-file.xls to create an Excel spreadsheet from a (middle) portion of a long job (it's running interactively under Windows). When the code hits the ods html close statement, the interactive environment automatically asks if I want to Open, Save, or Cancel. Even if I hit "Cancel", a "Preview Window" opens up with text telling me the file couldn't be opened, and suggesting how I can view it.

My problem is that the program does not continue until I respond to that intrusive dialog opening Preview Window. The file is already saved to disk, even when I click Cancel, so Preview is purely counterproductive to me. I've looked in sasCommunity.org, the Knowledge Base at the SAS Institute, online and my installed SAS help docs, to no avail.

Does anyone know how I could prevent Preview Window being invoked? Perhaps some system option, or ods option? Anything, really.

TIA, Steve Raimi
