file-specification
identifies an external file using the following syntax:

'filename <filetype <filemode | SFS-directory | *>>'
specifies the filename, filetype, and filemode, respectively. If the filetype is omitted, SAS assumes a filetype of "SAS".

fileref

The LOG= system option is valid in interactive line mode and noninteractive mode. It is ignored if the SAS windowing environment is invoked.

If you do not want a log written, specify NOLOG. NOLOG is ignored in the SAS windowing environment.
