Writing on listing file

rakeshvvv — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:45:39 GMT

We use the following statement to write into log file…

%put ERROR: Dataset contains duplicate records.

Is there a way that I can write same on the listing file….

Thanks

Hello,

%put macro statement only writes to the log. You can try generating a data _null_ statement with a put data step statement.

Hi:

Here's an example. See attached screen shot. There's also a free e-lecture on the topic: SAS Training in the U.S. -- SAS Report Writing 1 e-Lectures: Additional Topics (Creating Data Step Reports with the LISTING Destination).

Why not use proc printto to save the LOG into a listing file ?
