You can redirect both the SAS log and procedure
output to your terminal
display, to a printer, or to an external file. You can redirect output using
the following methods:
- PRINTTO procedure
- routes DATA step, log, or procedure output from the system
default destinations to the destination you choose.
- FILENAME statement
- associates a fileref with an external file or output device
and enables you to specify file and device attributes.
- FILE command
- stores the contents of the LOG or OUTPUT windows in files
you specify, when the command is issued from within the windowing environment.
- SAS system options
- redefine the destination of log and output for an entire
SAS program. These system options are specified when you invoke SAS. The
system options used to route output are the ALTLOG=, ALTPRINT=, LOG=, and
PRINT= options.
Operating Environment Information: The way you specify output destinations
when you use SAS system options is dependent on your operating environment.
See the SAS documentation for your operating environment for
details.
