Hide specific SAS notes in the LOG

Florent — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:47:05 GMT

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to hide the following notes (a data step or a global option would be great) from the LOG file ?

NOTE: Division by zero detected at line 21664 column 50.
NOTE: Division by zero detected at line 21665 column 70.

It's a lot of work to add checks on the denominator's value in the whole application. As it's not dealing with a lot of data, it's not a big problem if it slows down the process. So hiding these notes would be cool 🙂

Thank you for your help,

Florent.

Hi:
This one's for you!

The DIVIDE function can be used to do a division and you do NOT get any messages when you use it. That's pretty cool, too. If you could change to the DIVIDE function, you wouldn't have to hide them because they won't BE there.
