Subject:      Putting the value of a %do loop every thousandth time?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Hi,

I currently have a loop in a macro:

%do i=1 %to &max;

%end;

Currently I get out this message:

MLOGIC(GET_RESULTS):  %DO loop index variable I is now 24563; loop will  iterate again.

But now I want to try to run it on about 700,000 loops; is there a way I can do something
like
%put i=&i;

But only once every thousandth time or so so my log won't be huge but I can still check where it is at? i.e. I'd like to say
if mod(i, 1000)=0 then %put i=&i;

But I'm not sure how to do the code with a macro variable.

Also, if I get this working, how do I turn off the message from mlogic?
