Details

The DTRESET system option updates the date and time in the titles of the SAS log and the procedure output file. This update occurs when the page is being written. The smallest time increment that is reflected is minutes.
The DTRESET option is especially helpful in obtaining a more accurate date and time stamp when you run long SAS jobs.
When you use NODTRESET, SAS displays the date and time that the job originally started.
