Turn on total clock in sas log

fierceanalytics — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 17:08:01 GMT

Hello,

Ran program that has many procedure and data steps. Runs fine. Each procedure, DS, upon finishing, reports as such

NOTE: PROCEDURE CONTENTS used (Total process time):
real time 0.06 seconds
cpu time 0.03 seconds"

Great. Only that at the very end of the running, TOTAL real time, cpu time is NOT reported. How to resurface that total clock? I have this :options mprint mlogic label compress=yes obs=max;" taking effect.

Thanks

Jia Xin

When programs are run in batch mode, the whole time is reported at the end of the log.

And EG records the execution time for a whole code node.

This is what I do when I want the program run duration in the SAS Log
1.As the first line in the code I have the following statement

%let start_time=%sysfunc(datetime());
2.At the end of the program have this data step
data _NULL_;

run_time=datetime() -&start_time.;

put The run duration was run_time time13.2;
end;

I do see the batch job log at SAS Studio. Now I wonder if I need the total or now since step by step clock details are available. Thanks.

One nice little option: options fullstimer; does the trick. Forgot all about it.
