Hi All,

 

I am trying to understand the RUN statement. Does it read above for other RUN statement and or the beginning of the file which contains a hidden line (OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;)?

 

Example of the log file in SAS Studio:

 

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;
72
73 /****************************************************************/
74 /* The INFILE statement uses a Microsoft Windows path. */
75 /* */
76 /* For UNIX, Linux, SAS University Edition, and SAS on Demand: */
77 /* Change the INFILE statement to: */
78 /* infile "&path/newemps.csv" dlm=','; */
79 /* */
80 /* For z/OS: */
81 /* Change the INFILE statement to: */
82 /* infile "&path..rawdata(newemps)" dlm=','; */
83 /****************************************************************/
84
85 data work.newsalesemps;
86 length First_Name $ 12 Last_Name $ 18
87 Job_Title $ 25;
88 infile "/folders/myfolders/newemps.csv" dlm=',';
89 input First_Name $ Last_Name $
90 Job_Title $ Salary /*numeric*/;
91 run;
 

Cheers Conrad

Your front-end (SAS Studio) sends code automatically before each of your submits that initializes this individual submit. In order to keep your log clean, log output is prevented by the first line. In line 71 (which is still "hidden"), there's another options statement that reverts this, so you get log output starting at line 72.

Makes sense 🙂

Does SAS Studio give you an option to choose NOT to hide that bit of the log?  I always get nervous when stuff is hidden from me, code or otherwise.
