BASE SAS PROGRAMMING-sas log

sdixit — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 20:16:20 GMT

Hi All,

Could someone tell me is there any way to save complete SAS project log automatically using SAS code or any setting in SAS EG 7.1?

I used

proc printto log to save individual sas codes in a SAS PROJECT.

Thanks

I would recommend venturing into Version Control. EG has built in support for this, please see the post from @ChrisHemedinger from several years ago. The functionality should be the same.

If I'm understanding you correctly, I find it a lot easier to keep logs of SAS programs by running them in batch mode. That way you get logs automatically without coding anything extra.

Thanks for the response but the issue is that I have to run code manually.

Curious to know why you have to run your code manually. Where I work we ensure that it doesn't matter which way you run your code, it works the same.
