Creating Separate log files for each iteration

[Ramya2]

If it is before looper, it will create log for each subject. I dont want the log to be created for each subject.

I think this is incorrect. There is nothing in the code that will cause a log for each subject to be generated.

With all suggested changes:

%macro caller();

%do j=1 %to &npts;

%if  %sysfunc(mod(&j,3))=1 %then

%do;

proc printto new log ='"/ctshared/cdr/dev/RAMYA/archive/logfile_&j..log";

run;

%let rc=%sysfunc(sleep(60,1));

%end;

%looper(subject=&&pt&j.);

%end;

%mend caller();

Should be OK.  Try it and see.  Careful programming might eliminate an unnecessary SLEEP.

Wow. It is working fine. Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

So that's closer.  Now move the %LOOPER macro as @PaigeMiller suggested.
