I want to know the run time of running several programs in my process flow. I was wandering if there was a macro or other way to determine how long it takes to run all of the selected programs and have it displayed in the last log.

 

Cheers

Assuming you want the elaps time of running (not CPU time),

Add as first step before your code:

data _null_;
    tm = datetime();
   call symput('run_start', put(tm, z15.);
run;

and add as last step after your code:

data _null_;
    start = &run_start;
    end = datetime();
    elaps = end - start;
    put '>>> Total run time = ' elaps= time9.;
run;

You'll find the elaps time at the end of your log.
