Numbers in SAS Log

Daily1 — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 06:44:21 GMT

11   data professions;
12      input Name $ 1-17 Gender $ 19 Occupation $ 21-33;
13      datalines;

NOTE: The data set WORK.PROFESSIONS has 5 observations and 3 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
      real time           0.07 seconds
      cpu time            0.00 seconds

What shows 11 12 13 numbers ?

Please use a DESCRIPTIVE SUBJECT LINE.

Using just "SAS" in a forum devoted exclusively to SAS is an outright declaration of mental bankruptcy.

I therefore corrected your post.

The numbers are log line numbers, used to orientate yourself in the log. Log messages will often refer to these numbers ("invalid numeric data in line ....").

@Daily1 Hi and welcome to the SAS Community 🙂

11, 12 and 13 are merely line numbers in your log.

SAS Code
DATA Example1; 
OldPrice=10;
RUN;

Output

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

73 DATA Example1;

74 OldPrice=10;

75 RUN;

NOTE: The data set WORK.EXAMPLE1 has 1 observations and 1 variables.

NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):

real time 0.01 seconds

cpu time 0.01 seconds

77 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

SAS Code line no. and output code no. are different why?

This happens because a lot of code is added automatically by either SAS Studio or Enterprise Guide. The options NOSOURCE and NONOTES suppress displaying the following code, so your log will start at line 72, as line 71 of the actually submitted code will contain the reset of the above system options.
