SAS_learner:

as far as I know there are not separate linesize options for log and
print.

options is a global statement so it applies,
immediately,
to the step where it is used.

        Hello Ronald,

        Thanks for the Option it is what I am looking for , but as you
said it is messing up my Output too is there a way to limit options
linesize = max;  Just to Log

        I am using Proc Printto  to Print my Log  , Or If there is way
to Overwrite the global Linezine options to normal line when my proc
compare starts , My Program is has follow

        %include setup ;<--- This has all the Libraries and template
Program here is where Proc Printto log = c:\temp.log is included then ;

        data .................;
        .
        .
        .
        Proc compare data = a compare = b ; Run;
        Proc Report and Proc Compare report where I compare here the
defalut Proc compare is getting messed up .

        thanks for the help

                options linesize = max;

                but that applies to log and print

                PROC Options define value option = linesize;
                PROC Options define value option = ovp;*OverPrint Errors
and Warnings;

                ovp is a command-line option
                you have to add it to your SASv9.cfg:

                -noovp

                Peter Crawford both wonder why the Windows default
setting of ovp is
                still ovp
                and not noovp

                Note this option was used to OverPrint a line twice more
on a dot-matrix
                or other types of impact printers
                which resulted in the line appearing as bold.
