Syntax Description

MFILE

routes the MPRINT output to an external file.

Restriction:

The MPRINT option must be in effect to use MFILE.

NOMFILE

does not route the MPRINT output to an external file.

Details

MFILE is useful for debugging. Macro-generated code that is displayed by the MPRINT option in the SAS log during macro execution is written to the external file that is referenced by the fileref MPRINT. If there is no MPRINT fileref, a warning message is issued and no file is written (MFILE is turned off).
