Specifies the location of the ARM log.
| Valid in: |
configuration file, SAS invocation, OPTIONS
statement, System Options window

| Restriction: |
If ARMAGENT=LOG4SAS, ARMLOC= is ignored.

ARMLOC=fileref |
filename
|
-
fileref
-
is a SAS name that is associated with the
physical location of the ARM log. To assign a fileref, use the FILENAME statement.
-
'filename'
-
is the physical location of the log. Include
the complete pathname and the filename. You can use single or double quotation
marks.
| Default for SAS 9.1 ARM Interface: |
Filename: ARMLOG.LOG |
| Default for SAS 9.2 ARM Interface: |
none |
| Restriction: |
For all operating
environments except z/OS, if you specify the ARMLOC= system option in your
configuration file, you must specify the filename, not a fileref. |
The ARM log is an external output file
that contains the logged ARM transaction records. The ARM log gathers transaction
information for the internal SAS processing transactions (depending on the
value of the ARMSUBSYS= system option) and for user-defined transactions
(using ARM macros).
You can change the location of the ARM log after initializing
an ARM subsystem. Any records that were written to the ARM log in the old
location are not copied to the ARM log in the new location. Therefore, you
should issue ARMLOC= before initializing the first ARMSUBSYS= so that all
records are written to the same ARM log.
