call execute, suppress "generated line" in the log

[ckx]

When you run "call execute" it prints the SAS syntax generated to the log. Usually that's wonderful but if not, is there a way to suppress this information, similar to "options nomprint"?

You can do something like this:

options nosource;
data _null_;
  set sashelp.class;
  if _n_=2 then call execute(cat('data want; set sashelp.class; where age=',strip(age),'; run;'));
run;
options source;

[ckx]

Thanks for the very quick reply, it works brilliantly!

Use option in call execute. NOMPRINT

data _null_;
if _n_=1 then call execute("options nomprint;proc print data=sashelp.class;run;");
run;
