nothing has been written to SAS log

GN0001 — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 21:11:02 GMT

Hello team,

I have inherited SAS code that I need to understand.

I am trying to run each piece of code or I run the whole code, nothing has been written to SAS Log. I wonder if there a keyword that prevents from everything written to SAS log.

Regards,

Does it have proc printto?

And %INCLUDE means the code in the link isn't piped to the logs either unless the SOURCE option is specified.

And most importantly - did you actually call the macro?

Hello team,

Yes it has logpath, logfile and printto. I took the off, still I can't view the log, so I can't understand what code does.

thanks,

I am not worried about include statement which is a call to other macros in other file and I saw macros in that file has include statements, which in turn point to other files, nest include statement.

The code has source and source2 in the beginning of the code.

I don't want to save the log in a location as the owner of code has done it. I want to view the code in the log so I can find out how the program works.

Thanks,

Hello Reeza,

I can see source and source2.

I will let you know if there is a call to the Macro. I just can't see anything written to the log. Log itself is saved somewhere in a directory. I can view it, I'd like to view it in sas log, the one which is gone after we close the program. That way, I can understand what each code does.

Hello team,

I commented out logpath and logfile and now I can see the log.
