to open a table in SAS we can use the DM "VT {tablename}" command.
What is the equivalent command to CLOSE the viewtable window???

A:
Well... this command will close the viewtable window (replace {libref.dataset} with your data), but submitting it repeatedly will continue closing other viewtable windows that might also be open so you might want to tweek it a bit if that's an issue.
dm 'next VIEWTABLE:libref.dataset; end;';

Could you close all open viewtable's with a similar command?

Just what I needed - thanks. Ville - the code below will close all windows if submitted repeatedly:

You could also enclose it in a macro like this (credit to http://sasrunner.blogspot.com/ for this tip )%macro closevts / cmd;%local i;%do i=1 %to 20;next "viewtable:";end;%end;%mend;
