Save log output data

jamal01 — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 15:47:00 GMT

Hello,

I have a large dataset that I am performing calculations with, and printing pdf results.

The main problem I am facing is trying to save the log output.

I searched through all my output files, but couldn't find a copy of the log.

Is there any way to save output data that is only displayed in the log?

For reference, I am using proc optmodel for this table.

Thank you

This output should not be going to the log, but if it is in the log you can always save it using File->Save As.

Better, set the ODS destination to someplace you want such as text file, HTML file, Excel file, PDF file.

Example to create a text file

ods listing file="G:\foldername\filename.txt";
proc something;
    /* More commands */
run;
ods listing close;
