log statements

[#1]

I'm looking for a way to help me debug... would like to write text that will post to my log file and/or in the debugger window, to help me narrow down exactly where the code is breaking.

in SAS this would be a "PUT" statement... i.e. %put "you are in the Load statement at line 41"

Hello Stephanie,

I'm used to set a variable with some result I want to check in the debug/load process. Then I use TRACE function to see what that variable has stored. Syntax is always

TRACE $(vYourCheckVariable);

You can write a message instead a variable just to know you have reached certain part of script.

Hope that helps.

You have always the "msgbox" function, not so nice as the last replay but... you can use it.
