How to redirect put statements to the result instead of the log?

[tomcmacdonald]

Is there a way to redirect put statements within the data step to the result rather than the log?

Show us what your trying to do. What are your writing to log matters.

I'm using SAS 9.4 under AIX 7 with bash.  I'm trying to redirect the output from put statements into a file.  I want the following command to output "hello, foobar" to stdout.

sas -stdio <(echo 'data _null_; put "hello, foobar"; run;') 2>/dev/null

It seems the only way to accomplish this is to explicitly use the file statement like this:

sas -stdio <(echo 'data _null_; file stdout; put "hello, foobar"; run;') 2>/dev/null

Using PUT statement uses as default the FILE LOG output;

You can define any other output including FILE PRINT to have the output on result window.

data _null_;

   file print; put 'Output to result window';

   file log;   put 'Return to default';

run;

Inside your script file, put all of the commands within parentheses, like this:

(echo start
ls -l
echo end) | tee foo.log
