object.FLUSHJAVAOUTPUT( );

Arguments

object: specifies the name of the java object.

Details

Java output that is directed to the SAS log is flushed when the DATA step terminates. If you use the FLUSHJAVAOUTPUT method, the Java output will appear after any output that was issued while the DATA step was running.

Example

In the following example, the "In Java class" lines are written after the DATA step is complete.

/* Java code */
 public class p
{
  void p()
     {
        System.out.println("In Java class");
     }
}

/* DATA step code */
data _null_;
   dcl javaobj j('p');
   do i = 1 to 3;
        j.callVoidMethod('p');
        put 'In DATA Step';
   end;
run;

The following lines are written to the SAS log.

In DATA Step
In DATA Step
In DATA Step
In Java class

If you use the FLUSHJAVAOUTPUT method, the Java output is written to the SAS log in the order of execution.

/* DATA step code */
data _null_;
   dcl javaobj j('p');
   do i = 1 to 3;
        j.callVoidMethod('p');
        j.flushJavaOutput();
        put 'In DATA Step';
   end;
run;

The following lines are written to the SAS log.
