When i use create statement to create a data set in a do iteration in IML, the message"note: a data set xxx has one varialbe and xx " pops up repeatedly in log window , which slows down the computaion. How to prevent that happens?
I agree with Ian. If this is part of a simulation study, look at these articles:

You can add "options nonotes;" before you start IML and this will suppress all such notes. However I would not have thought that printing notes to the log would slow down your program by much. If you are trying to create lots of small data sets, then perhaps think about collecting results together into a few larger matrices, as there should be less I/O overhead writing out the larger data sets.
