Status while programs in SAS EG are running?

elwayfan446 — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 14:24:09 GMT

Let's say I have a program within a SAS EG project flow that has multiple data steps and proc sql queries. Is there a way I can monitor the script while it is running to determine which query is currently running so I can figure out which steps have already completed and how much further the program has to go? All I can find is the details of what task is currently running at the bottom of the SAS EG window but nothing that can tell me which step inside a program is currently running.

Thanks!

Here's a blog post about how to use the SYSECHO statement to accomplish that.
