I would like to see the results of the autoexec log in SAS Studio. My normal autoexec file in SAS Studio simply looks like this:
%include "/folder/location/my_real_autoexec.sas";
I thought I'd be sneaky and just wrap it in a "proc printto" to redirect the log like this:
proc printto log="~/autoexec.log";
%include "/folder/location/my_real_autoexec.sas";
proc printto;run;
It created the file ~/autoexec.log, but when I open it, it only contains the following:
NOTE: PROCEDURE PRINTTO used (Total process time):
real time 0.02 seconds
cpu time 0.02 seconds
Is there a place I can see the autoexec log somewhere else? A configuration option I can specify somewhere? Or a better way to use proc printto?
EDIT - Just to be clear, I want to see what GLOBAL/AUTOMATIC macro variables are available at the time autoexec runs vs at the time you can submit code manually. So I can't use the 'run' feature that is supplied within SAS Studio.
You might look into the options for the %PUT statement also. You can specify lists of variables such as _all_ , _automatic_ , _global_ , _user_ , _readonly_ , _writable_ and/ or _local_ (though _local_ generally doesn't mean much outside of a running macro).
%put _global_;
will show the current list of defined global macro variables and their values
