"Log window full"

[sasuser1000]

Hi ,

I have a code that when run, the log window gets full and stop the run till I clear the log.

I would like to run the code overnight and clear the log window automatically but still be able to see the log output in the morning.

Do you know what line of code should I add in order to clear log automatically but still saving the ouptut of the log somewhere?

Try to use proc printto to redirect the log to a txt file.
[pre]
proc printto log='c:\log.txt';
run;
....your proc....
proc printto ;
run;
[/pre]

You can also bypass this problem by running the program in batch mode: from a command line type SAS -SYSIN "mysasprog.sas"

Which should also generate a log file you can review at need.
