Hi I would like to know how to export sas program log to a folder using sas code in a sas program
right now I have to manually export it and I would like to use sas code to have it automatically saved in a specific folder
please help thx
proc printto log="g:\abc\def\myfolder\filename.log" new;
run;
/* YOUR CODE GOES HERE */
proc printto;
run;
Note: the option NEW overwrites any previous logs by this name.
proc printto log="g:\abc\def\myfolder\filename %sysfunc(today(), yymmddn10.).log" new;
run;
/* YOUR CODE GOES HERE */
proc printto;
run;
You can also add the date (or datetime via datetime()) if you're looking to have this tracked each time you run a process.
