Hello all,
Can anyone explain about source source 2?
What is the impact of using it?

These are system options that provide some additional control over what gets written to the log.

Source says to show submitted code in the log.

Source2 typically is set to show code that runs from an %include file

Thanks for the response.

I couldn't understand source. Why do we use it if this option doesn't write to SAS Log?

SOURCE is on by default (SOURCE2 is not).

options nosource;

is used the suppress the writing of code to the log,

options source;

turns it back on.

Enterprise Guide (e.g.) does this for part of the code it sends before every execution.
