print external log file to current log

[Ivy]

Hello,

I output my log to an external log file and reset to the default SAS log at end of program.

proc printto new log="&logref" print="&lstref";
run;

proc printto;

run;

I am wondering whether I can review the external log file in SAS log window at end of the program. Import external log ? 

Thanks

Ivy

How about these ways.

1. Use the X command to open the log file in a different application.

x "notepad &logref";

2. Save the log file with DM statement instead of PROC PRINTTO.

proc printto new print="&lstref";
run;


DM "LOG; FILE ""&logref"" ";/* at end of program */

This does not work in batch mode.

3. Read the log file with the INFILE statement and output it to the log.

filename f "&logref";
data _null_;
  infile f;
  input;
  putlog _infile_;
run;
filename f;
