Is there anyway to prevent UNBUFFERED note when writing to RECFM=N

[Tom]

When using the FILE statement option RECFM=N SAS will put a note into the SAS log.

6    options generic; resetline;
1    filename text temp;
2    data _null_;
3      file text dsd recfm=N ;
4      put "Some text";
5    run;

NOTE: UNBUFFERED is the default with RECFM=N.
NOTE: The file TEXT is:
      (system-specific pathname),
      (system-specific file attributes)

You get a similar message when your read from the file:

6    data want;
7      infile text recfm=N;
8      input text $10.;
9    run;

NOTE: UNBUFFERED is the default with RECFM=N.
NOTE: The infile TEXT is:
      (system-specific pathname),
      (system-specific file attributes)

NOTE: The data set WORK.WANT has 1 observations and 1 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
      real time           0.02 seconds
      cpu time            0.01 seconds

Which you can prevent by adding the UNBUF option.

10   data want;
11     infile text unbuf recfm=N;
12     input text $10.;
13   run;

NOTE: The infile TEXT is:
      (system-specific pathname),
      (system-specific file attributes)

NOTE: The data set WORK.WANT has 1 observations and 1 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
      real time           0.00 seconds
      cpu time            0.00 seconds

But the FILE statement does not accept this option.

Does anyone know if there is some way to prevent that NOTE?

It doesn't really cause any trouble, I just don't like it cluttering the SAS log.

use option nonotes.
This will suppress notes being written to the log.
