Possible to get FULLSTIMER summary stats at the end of an interactive pgm?

When you run a sas code with fullstimer in batch, usually at the end of the said code, you also get a summary stats for the whole code run. This I do not see produced in interactive (EG) produced log.

1. I have tried PROC PRINTTO & ALTLOG still the same log as in interactive.

I read from SAS DOCs:

The SAS Log in Interactive Mode

In interactive mode, the SAS log is opened when SAS starts. The SAS log is not named until you save it in the active window. The name that you specify must follow the file naming conventions for your operating environment. The SAS log cannot be saved automatically in interactive mode. However, SAS can create a second copy of the SAS log if the ALTLOG= system option is set either at SAS invocation or in a configuration file.

However nothing as in how to produce the same fullstimer results that are produced if the same code is run as batch. I did setup ALTLOG as well as tried using PROC PRINTTO but no resoltuion.

This is a sample summary stats of a simple code I ran as batch, in addition to fullstimer at ea. step, I also got a nice summarized stanza of stats.

You might need to set the option:

Options fullstimer;

Hmm, I do not know of an option to get the full run time for the entire batch directly in SAS.

You can however use the LOGPARSE Macro and add the run times

Thank you for the suggestion. I was looking for a quick & dirty w FULLSTIMER, just the inability to get full stats, as in summary at the end of code is annoying.
