Dynamic SAS EG Project Log save location

[bbieber]

I would like to automatically save the overall project log for a SAS EG project to the folder in which the project is saved. 

I can obviously point and click my way to the folder when exporting the log, but I would like to avoid these steps. I also have parallel execution of several programs so I cannot simply output the log for each program to the same file (i.e. proc printto log = "&path.\projectLog.log"; run;)

If you want one log for program. you could do something like:

proc printto log = "&path.\&program..log";
run;

I think EG might create an automatic macro variable similar to &program with the name of the current program.  If not, there are ways find out.

This solution does not solve my problem - i.e. there are multiple programs running in parallel so printing to the same log file within each proc printto fails.

The variable &_ClientProjectPath has the name of the egp including full path, enclosed in single quotes. To get the path only, you can use something like:

data _null_;
   path = substr(&_ClientProjectPath, 1, findc(&_ClientProjectPath, '/\', 1, 'b') -1);
   call symputx('cpp', path);
run;

This is helpful as the first step, but I still can't figure out how to programmatically access the project log. Right now I right click on the last program in the process flow, choose "Share" . . . "Export as  a step in the project", choose the "Project Log", and then manually point and click to the desired save location. I would like to just have a program I could place at the end of a process flow to save off the log.
