SAS DM (display manager) commands can be used to call windowing and text editor commands within a SAS program. In this example, the log is saved to a permanent file, and then it is cleared:

 

***put something in the log;
proc print data=sashelp.flags (obs=1);
run;

***save the log to a permanent file, overwriting if necessary;
dm 'log; file "C:\My files\log 1 &sysdate9..log" replace';

***Clear the log window;
DM "log; clear; ";
