Tell SAS not to add newly generated tables on the Process Flow?

Question

I have a SAS code that creates a lot of intermediary tables for my calculations. Thing is, I don't really care about this tables after the job is done, I only care to the finals results. But, everytime I run this code, SAS add all the generated tables do my process flow, turning it into a huge mess (I am talking here of 40+ intermediary tables). Is there a way to tell SAS not to add some tables to the process flow? Or at least to tell it not to add any tables at all? I am using SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 Thanks in advance

Here's one solution. Be sure to include LIB=WORK and MEMTYPE=DATA.

Do NOT use this technique on permanent libraries - anything not specified in the SAVE is DELETED.

data raa1;

x=1;

run;

data raa2;

x=1;

run;

data raa3;

x=1;

run;

data final;

set raa1 raa2 raa3;

run;

proc datasets lib=work memtype=data;

save final;

run;
