What is the default output destination for SAS procedures?

The default output destination for SAS procedures is the listing output window. When you run a SAS procedure, SAS automatically directs the output to this window unless otherwise specified. This output includes results such as tables, statistics, or graphs, which are displayed in a formatted manner suitable for review. The listing output window serves as a convenient way to quickly observe the results of your analyses and makes it accessible for further actions or export purposes.

In contrast, other options represent different output types or formats. For instance, an HTML file is a popular choice for presenting data interactively but does not represent the default output unless specified by the user. A CSV file is commonly used for data export but is not the default display option in SAS procedures. The institute library refers to the storage location for datasets and does not pertain to output display. Thus, while other output destinations are useful, the listing output window remains the core and immediate output environment for SAS procedures by default.
