-
ALTLOG destination
-
specifies a destination for a copy of the
SAS log. The destination argument can be a valid
Windows pathname or filename (including device names) or an environment variable
associated with a pathname. If you specify only a pathname, the copy is placed
in a file in the specified directory, with a name of filename.LOG, where filename is the name of your
SAS job. If you are running SAS interactively
and specify only a pathname, the log is written to a file named SAS.LOG within
that path.
-
NOALTLOG
-
specifies that the SAS log is not copied.
The ALTLOG system option specifies a destination
to which a copy of the SAS log is written. Use the ALTLOG system option to
capture log output for printing.
To send the SAS log to a printer other than the default
printer, use a valid Windows printer name for the destination value.
When SAS is started with the OBJECTSERVER and NOTERMINAL system options
and no log is specified, SAS discards all log and alternate log messages.
Note: ALTLOG replaces the following system options from earlier
versions of SAS: LDISK, LPRINT, and
LTYPE. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
