Hello team,

What does this mean?

Each place is given by: (Number of times) at (Line):(Column).
8877 at 2648:207

How to locate line and column in a SAS log?

Respectfully,

Show us more of the log. Show us the ENTIRE log for this PROC or DATA step.

This means that you had 8877 events of a (most probably) erroneous nature at the code at position 207 in log line 2648. Stuff like missing values because of missing values in calculations or functions, or invalud data when reading numbers or trying to convert character to numeric.

Logs have line numbers, you only need to look for line 2648 in your complete log.
