I am working on some table programs where I need to test several efficacy proc mixed models to see if they converge before deciding on the model to use.
For the testing portion of my code I need to turn off the log so that I do not get a warning about the model not converging.
I found some code that will do this when I run the program interactively (see below):
filename junk dummy;
proc printto log=junk;
run;
.--
<Your PROC codes>
...
proc printto;
run;
However when I run the program in batch mode on our unix system – the warning still shows up in the log.
Is there a way to shut off the log for a portion of my code that will work in batch mode?
You can only suppress information in SAS log using ERRORS=, NONOTES, NOSOURCE. There is no option in SAS that turns off all warning messages.
There are some more system options like:
MSGLEVEL DKRICOND VNFERR
Better look at the documentation of those options.
