Overview

Getting performance information from a SAS log can be a time-consuming manual process. You would like to easily get the various types of run information available into SAS data sets for further analysis and comparison.

• Be able to read SAS logs from various SAS releases
• Be able to obtain resource utilization information in SAS data sets
• Compare performance information from various SAS runs, across releases or across operating environments

Explanation

LOGPARSE and all the macros it calls can be run in SAS 9.1.3 or later.

The logs being analyzed can be from release 6.12 or any later release.

%LOGPARSE does not *need* SAS 9.2 to run; it can analyze SAS 9.2 logs.

The program does not need to be run in the same release that generated the logs; or operating system for that matter. You can analyze logs from z/OS in a UNIX SAS session.

How to use the sample code

Download the macro code. Place the macro code in either an AUTOCALL library or use %INCLUDE to directly include in your SAS session.

Get complete information on how to use %LOGPARSE and the supplemental macros from the README.TXT in the download.

The %LOGPARSE macro can be run in SAS 9.1.3 and later. It uses the information at the top of the input log file to determine which version's log is being processed.

The README file contains:
• Descriptions of the macro parameters and their use
• How to use the members of the zip file
• Example code that shows how to parse SAS logs
• How to store the results of the LOGPARSE macro

Highlights of the paper include:
• How to instrument your SAS code with %PASSINFO macro to obtain detailed information on the environment that your SAS program is running in.
• How to get the name of the z/OS machine your program is running on.
