SAS LOG CLEARING

My sas log and output gets cleared after each query. How can i change this?. I am using SAS data integration Studio 4.21.

I don't have access to SAS DI Studio at the moment (and 4.21 - upgrade!).

Not sure you can stop this.

But, DI Studio is not a query tool, it's ETL construction tool, so I see limited need for preserving logs.

If there is special occasions when wish to save a log, you can do this explicitly/manually.

HI LinusH thanks for answering. let me explain you it clearly. i need to look at my log several times for small data comparisions.

And the data sizes which i am dealing are quiet large. so either i have to run all my code at a single stretch to view the log and compare my data or i should manually jot down the numbers somewhere. So here I am asking if it is possible that i my log will append to the previous log which is being created rather than getting rollover.

Thanks

Not sure exactly what you are looking for in the log, no records, or do you put values to the log?

Either way, if this is for data trouble shooting, I would simply copy/paste the log to a separate document.

If your process is too complicated to handle with standard DI Studio tools/techniques, perhaps try to run the job in Enterprise Guide, where you additional options for program output, as well with simpler ways to ad-hoc query the intermediate results from any data set in your job.
