SAS Studio prints redundant options line in the log

Aidas — Tue, 19 May 2020 07:23:41 GMT

Hi,

SAS Studio outputs a redundant line at the beginning and at the end of the log:

OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

For example, I submit only one line of code:

proc setinit; run;

But in addition to this line and the output of setinit I get this redundant options line at the beginning and at the end of the log. How can I get rid of this options line?

I have attached the full example log.

Many thanks

Aidas

The two option statements are issued by SAS Studio to prevent cluttering of the log with the "prepare" and "cleanup" code that Studio automatically sends. The statements themselves appear in the log, but nothing further will be sent to the log until a countermanding options statement is issued (which itself remains "hidden").

Look closely at the line numbers, and you can see how much code is not appearing in your log, making it easier to read.

You cannot prevent these two statements from appearing in your log.

EG has an option the allows you to control whether or not the wrapper code is "hidden" in the log (by a macro call that does similar turning off of notes etc).

Is there a similar option in Studio which would allow you see the "prepare" and "cleanup" code in the log?
