Hello,
Im trying to find a way to export the log everytime i run a program in EG, or Sas 9.3 Is there an easy way of doing this with a timestamp?
In your code, before you run anything, you can put:
proc printto log="<path to log>\<name of log>_%sysfunc(date(),date9.)_%sysfunc(time(),tod5).txt";
run;
This will redirect the log output to the given file, and the %sysfunc's will give a date and time in the filename.
By personal preference, I would use yymmddd10. or yymmddn8. as the format for the date value. This automatically sorts the logs in their chronological order.
