Debugging Proc FCMP - put does not print to the log

christoph_hofme — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 11:42:05 GMT

the following code

proc fcmp ;
   X = 3 ;
   Y = 4 ;
   put "some text" @ ;
   put X= ;
   put _ALL_ ;
run ;

does not generate any output in the log. By redirecting the output like this

ods listing file='~/FCMPOUT.txt';
proc fcmp ;
   X = 3 ;
   Y = 4 ;
   put "some text" @ ;
   put X= ;
   put _ALL_ ;
run ;
ods listing close;

the output is written to the text file:

some text X=3
X=3 Y=4

Is there any way to send this directly to the log ?

Thanks!

Does using the putlog statement in place of the put statement make any difference?

Kind regards,

Amir.

Hallo @christoph_hofme and welcome to the SAS Support Communities (as a poster)!

Insert the line

file log;

between the PROC FCMP statement and the first PUT statement.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

PUTLOG seems not to be working with Proc FCMP. Thanks anyway!
