Changing the Appearance of the Log

Except in an interactive session, you can customize the log by using the PAGE and SKIP statements. Use the PAGE statement to move to a new page in the log. Use the SKIP statement to skip lines in the log. With the SKIP statement, you can specify the number of lines that you want to skip. If you do not specify a number, then SAS skips one line. If the number that you specify exceeds the number of lines remaining on the page, then SAS treats the SKIP statement like a PAGE statement and skips to the top of the next page. The PAGE and SKIP statements do not appear in the log.
