SAS Log File

In noninteractive mode, the SAS log has the following characteristics:

The filename is the same as the filename of the SAS program file.
The filetype is SASLOG.
If the SAS program file resides on an accessed R/W disk or on an SFS directory, then the SASLOG file is routed to that location; otherwise, it is routed to the first accessed R/W disk.
RECFM=V.
LRECL=the value of the SAS system option LINESIZE= plus one. The default value of LINESIZE= is 132; hence, LRECL=133 by default.
