Automatic macro variable SYSERRORTEXT is a read-only variable. The only way I have found to reset SYSERRORTEXT to blank is to log a blank error message. Not super useful because of the extra ERROR: line in the log file.
Also, SYSERRORTEXT captures only the last ERROR: line logged.
Example:
options nosource;
libname xyz abc "123"; %put &=SYSERRORTEXT; %if %length(&SYSERRORTEXT) %then %do; %put ERROR: %str( ); %end; %put &=SYSERRORTEXT;
will log
ERROR: The ABC engine cannot be found.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
SYSERRORTEXT=Error in the LIBNAME statement.
ERROR:
SYSERRORTEXT=
