You could direct your output through ODS and the log through PROC PRINTTO. Use PROC PRINTTO log = "<your destination with .rtf extension>" to write to an RTF file. It will open in Word but will look like any text file opened in Word. ODS as the name implies (output delivery system), is restricted to directing the outputs (the output window and graphs) to other destinations like HTML, PDF etc. The log is a diagnosis tool and not a part of the output.

Hope this helps. _________________________________ Venky Chakravarthy E-mail: swovcc_AT_hotmail_DOT_com

I want to write the log from a SAS Job directly into an RTF/PDF File. With proc printto one could direct the log into one file and the printouts into another file. Is this also possible with ODS. Grateful for any Hint...
