[HeatherNewton]

Hi I would like to know how to export sas program log to a folder using sas code in a sas program

please help thx

proc printto log="g:\abc\def\myfolder\filename.log" new;
run;

/* YOUR CODE GOES HERE */

proc printto;
run;

Note: the option NEW overwrites any previous logs by this name.

proc printto log="g:\abc\def\myfolder\filename %sysfunc(today(), yymmddn10.).log" new;
run;

/* YOUR CODE GOES HERE */

proc printto;
run;

You can also add the date (or datetime via datetime()) if you're looking to have this tracked each time you run a process.

If you are using PC version of SAS , you could try this:

option mprint mlogic symbolgen;
/*...................Here is code..........................*/
dm 'log; file "c:\temp\ReportPrint.log" replace;' ;
