About the SLTOOL1 Program

Before you use the SLTOOL1 program, the server log must be in a file that can be read by the INFILE and the INPUT statements of the DATA step. The FILENAME statement points to the physical location that contains the server's log.

Because SLTOOL1 produces a compressed SAS data file that contains the server log and some additional data, it is recommended that you reserve an amount of space that is twice the size of the server log file.

SLTOOL1 produces a data file that is stored in the library WORK. Because the WORK library is temporary for the duration of the SAS session, it is deleted upon termination. To keep the data file for use after the session terminates, save it in a permanent library. For example,

DATA SLOGDATA.CVTLOG (DROP=SERVREL ANALREL
                      COMPRESS=YES
                      LABEL='Server Log');
