If SAS issues error messages during SAS initialization
or termination, the SAS log can contain error messages that explain
the error. Any error message that SAS issues before the SAS log is
initialized or after is closed are written to the
MSG window if it is available. Also, messages can be written to the
SAS console log, which is a Windows file. Under Windows Vista, Windows
7, and Windows Server 2008, the SAS console log is typically located
in
c:\Users\user
ID\AppData. In
all other Windows operating environments the SAS console log is typically
located in the
c:\Documents and Settings\user ID\Application
Data folder. You can obtain the location and filename
for the SAS Console Log from the Application Event Log. To open the
application Event Log, submit
eventvwr from the Run dialog box and click on
Application.
