-ALTLOG destination |
-NOALTLOG |
specifies a destination for a copy of the SAS log. The destination argument can be a valid Windows pathname or filename (including device names) or an environment variable associated with a pathname. If you specify only a pathname, the copy is placed in a file in the specified directory, with a name of filename.LOG, where filename is the name of your SAS job. If you are running SAS interactively and specify only a pathname, the log is written to a file named SAS.LOG within that path.
Details |
The ALTLOG system option specifies a destination to which a copy of the SAS log is written. Use the ALTLOG system option to capture log output for printing.
To send the SAS log to a printer other than the default printer, use a valid Windows printer name for the destination value.
When SAS is started with the OBJECTSERVER and NOTERMINAL system options and no log is specified, SAS discards all log and alternate log messages.
Note: ALTLOG replaces the following system options from earlier versions of SAS: LDISK, LPRINT, and LTYPE.
