Hi SEG,      I think we would need a little more details about where you execute your code. If you are executing it on a Workspace server, your SAS administrator should be able to activate logging on that workspace server so that your session activity is logged on the server.      Other than that, any Base SAS code that you write should run without problem. You simply have to make sure that you include it in a "Code node". There is one exception it's what we call X commands and this is what you are trying to do in the code you copied in your post. X Commands have to be allowed for the Workspace server that you are working on for any calls to the system function or the X statement to work. Your administrator will most probably object to change this setting so you may have so arguing to do to convince him that it is required to make your program work. If you are NOT working on a workspace server, which means you are running your code locally and using EG to submit SAS to a local SAS installation. Then any Base SAS code should run fine in a code node. For the log part, I am sorry I don't have enough experience using EG on a daily basis to help you with that aspect. Yoan ... View more
