Hi,
Is there a SAS code out there that can help me scan errors in a log file with the line number the errors occur?
for ex: check for errors, warnings and tells me what line number is that occuring..
Will appreciate any help!!

Well, I think EG or one of the other SAS products has a summary which gives a count for each WARNING, ERROR and NOTE. I have developed a couple of these in both SAS and C#, it is a simple load text file and scan for elements you want to scan. I will not provide you code as that is proprietary, but a couple of pointers.
data ...;
infile "<your_log>"...;
input buffer $;
run;
data ...;
set <dataset above>;
if index(buffer,"ERROR") > 0 then...
run;
Gives the error description an the line of code:
Proc PrintTo Log="C:\Users\NAME\Desktop\Test_Log.Log" NEW;
Run;
Proc DO_NOT_EXIST_Print; Run; * create an error;
Proc DO_NOT_EXIST_Print; Run;
Proc DO_NOT_EXIST_Print; Run;
Proc PrintTo;
Run;
Data LogCheck;
Infile "C:\Users\NAME\Desktop\Test_Log.Log" Delimiter='09'x Missover DSD Lrecl=32767;
Informat LogLine $200.;
Format LogLine $200.;
Input Logline $;
Length Codeline $10.;
Retain CodeLine '.';
CodeLine=IfC(NotDigit(Substr(LogLine,1,1)),CodeLine,Scan(LogLine,1,' '));
If Logline=:"ERROR:" Then Output;
Run;
