SAS Log Error Checking Tool

The SAS Log Error Checking Tool allows you to examine and check any SAS log for Error
and Warning messages. You can also customize the tool to search for additional messages.

    into the Text Box at the top of the page.

  3. Or, you can right-click on a log file and open it with this tool.

  4. Click the Check Log File button to check the log file for Error and Warning messages.

    A Search link will be shown for each message.
