Hi.  I'm looking for a way to insert the datetime at the beginning of my program into my Log and then again at the end of my program. Because I run the program on a shared server I'd like to record how long each run of my program takes. I know already it can vary greatly from day-to-day.  Can anyone suggest some code for this?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

The time() function gives you exact time (down to microseconds). eg

data _null_;
now = time();
put now time15.6;
run;

will provide an entry in the log with the exact current time.
