Hi all,

 

So I have been running into this issue from time to time and I was wondering if anyone has experienced this.

Throughout my day I run a lot of SAS code and randomly (at least at this point I do not know what is causing it) the SAS log will stop showing the Blue notes, (e.g. after a print statement, it tells you how many observations and variables you have).

Below you can see an example of what I am talking about. It may look like my editor, but that is actually the SAS log.

 

Thank you.

If you have the command box available:

 

1) Click in the log to make that the active window

2) type: color note blue

3) hit the enter key.

 

to reset the color of notes back to blue.

4) type  wsave

to store the information in your SAS profile.

Describe your environment: Is this SAS Studio, Enterprise Guide or Display Manger (sometimes "Base SAS")?

Version? (This has worked since about SAS 6.8 to 9.4.4 for the display manager).

Operating system?

Looks like SAS is not actually running the code.  You either have an un-closed quote, parentheses or macro definition.

If you can't figure it out just exit and restart SAS (or if using SAS/studio or EG start a new SAS session).
