Syntax Description

PRINTMSGLIST

specifies to print the entire list of messages to the SAS log. PRINTMSGLIST is the default.

NOPRINTMSGLIST

specifies to print only the top-level message to the SAS log.


Details

For Version 7 and later versions, the return code subsystem allows for lists of return codes. All of the messages in a list are related, in general, to a single error condition, but give different levels of information. This option enables you to see the entire list of messages or just the top-level message.
