LOG and OUTPUT window full 1

[Medvedeff]

I am running a pretty large program. I am running into a problem where the log and output window fill up, and the program pauses until I manually instruct SAS on what to do.

How can I set SAS to automatically clear the log and output windows then they fill up?

Thanks!

You could turn of the output window.
ODS LISTING CLOSE.

You shouldn't turn off your LOG totally so redirect the log to a text file.

proc printto log="c:\yourfilename.log";
run;

....
*** RESET THE LOG OUTPUT BACK TO THE WINDOW ***;
proc printto;
run;

*** RESET THE OUTPUT WINDOW ***;
ODS LISTING;

Just come across this one!

You could alternatively try writing the following code at strategic parts of your program:
DM 'Clear log' ;
DM 'Clear Out' ;

Say, after each instance of writing something to the output - proc report/tabulate/print etc.
