Control the Log and Listing Location from Batch Call in SAS Grid Server

[Satish_Parida]

Hi Experts,

We are using the following to call my SAS Program.

SET F=\\PROG\V04
call sasgsublog_EDC "%F%\BB_Quicklist_Report.sas"

I know we can control the Log and the Listing path using Proc Printto.

Can we use -PRINT or any other option in call command in the cmd batch file to control the LOG and LST file location. I tried using -PRINT, it did not work.

Kindly suggest.

Are you talking about the log of the program? Then you can pass the -LOGCONFIGLOC logging-option-file with custom changes related to your job.

Thank you for your response.

We get a log file in the control location (most of the time where the .SAS file is placed) when a SAS program is run using windows batch or shell batch. 

Can we have any options to print log and the listings in a user specified location without changing anything on SAS code or the SAS application configuration.

Hi,
Adding a `proc printto` in autoexec.sas is not an optin I guess?

You don't have to make any changes to your configuration. I don't have a GRID environment at the moment but I can show you what I did to batch submit for a workspace session job.

cp /sasconfig/Lev1/SASApp/WorkspaceServer/logconfig.trace.xml ~

cd ~

vi logconfig.trace.xml and change the log location to home directory as below:

submit the job and pass the edited log-config location a log is generated at home directory.

so this is like a personal configuration file for your jobs that you can modify.

Hope this helps!

Can you add a full config file, for reference of the other users. Thank you very much.
