SAS Enterprise Guide: How do I lengthen the character limit on lines within the log?

[jaclynluu]

Hello,

It seems that I have come across an issue in SAS Enterprise Guide after upgrading my PC to Windows 10.  The lines within my log are cut off too quickly and begin a new line.  I want to condense the line breaks.  See below text.  Rather than cutting off the sentence, I want the entire sentence to be a single line (i.e. NOTE: The data set WORK.APCADJ_DDHS has 4725 observations and 13 variables is split between lines 7 and 8. I want it as a single line (just line 7) versus the current statement that separates it into 2 lines.  Is there a way to lengthen the character limit of lines?  Thank you!

1  NOTE: There were 5891 observations read from the data set

2     WORK.ADJ_DDHS.

3  NOTE: There were 4989 observations read from the data set

4      WORK.APC_DDHS.

5  NOTE: The data set WORK.APCADJ_DDHS has 4725 observations and

6      13 variables.

7  NOTE: The data set WORK.NO_APC has 1166 observations and 13

8     variables.

9  NOTE: The data set WORK.NO_ADJ has 264 observations and 13

10      variables.

Try:

options linesize=max;

Thanks for the quick reply Reeza!  I've tried "options linesize = max," but it didn't change anything.  Is there another option that I can use?

try this.

using your mouse right click in your log window, then select tools, options, log and then try to change the line size on the display tab.

Hi VDD,

There is no "tools" options when I right-click in my log window and I even went to the top drop-down menus and clicked tools and options but there is no option for me to change the line size on the display tab.  Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks!!

You can change the default under Tools/Options as shown below.

Thank you so much, Patrick!  I believe this worked!

in EG you can select tools, system options, display, log list control, linesize

Actually, I think @Reeza had it right with:

options linesize=max;

or the shorthand:

options ls=max;

But then you need to rerun the program that generates the log.  The LINESIZE option affects only log output that's generated after you change the option value.

But setting this via EG options should work as well, shouldn't it?

Yes, works with EG 7.15.
