70027 - SAS® Studio displays only a few lines of the log when you choose to truncate

Problem Note 70027: SAS® Studio displays only a few lines of the log when you choose to truncate

In SAS^® Studio 5.2, when you generate a large log from a program submission, you might receive the following pop-up message:

Maximum size for the log (100000 characters) has been exceeded. Would you like to clear the log before continuing or truncate the rest of the log?

If you choose truncate, only a few lines of the log are displayed instead of the intended 100,000 lines.

A hot fix is planned for this issue.

After you apply the hot fix, the log truncates after displaying 100,000 lines. In the program log, the following message occurs:

Warning: Maximum log size exceeded. Log has been terminated.

In either case, in order to see the entire log, use the PRINTTO procedure to redirect the log to a file, as shown in the following example:

proc printto log=<path and filename>; run;

The entire log is written to that file, and all logs will continue being written to that file until you submit the following:

proc printto; run;.

* For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be fixed.
