Hi Everyone,

I have to write a code to check which code has called teradata query and also copy that query if possible..

Want to write a macro and evry code will have that macro at the top.. kind of an audit macro.

will have to chase the log while the code is running.

Please help..

Thanks in advance.

It might be easier to search the query logs in your Teradata server.

Otherwise you might want to tell all of your SAS programmers to add options that will insure that messages from Teradata appear in the log. Then there will be more things to search for in the log.

options sastrace=',,,ds' sastraceloc=saslog ;

Look at the log of a job that you know uses the Teradata connection.

Find a characteristic string that is typical for that (say, a schema name or similar).

Use grep with that string on all your logs.
