Programming a shortcut key to clear the results window in SAS

Question

I'm trying to setup a shortcut key to clear any results from the results window in the base SAS IDE.

I know F9 brings up the shortcut window to assign keys. From the ?command box? I can type in dm results to activate the results window, and then clear to clear it. But when I try and combine these as my keyboard shortcut like so:

dm results; clear;

... nothing happens. What do I need to do to get this working?

I was writing a longer answer, but seems everything I wanted to say is gathered here:

For your specific question to clear the results by key shortcut: odsresults; clear;

Answer 2

You almost have it. You need to write:

DM ODSRESULTS "CLEAR;";

FYI:

DM LOG "CLEAR;";

Will clear your log as well.
