Hi Shiling,
   I think it's MFILE.  From the online docs:

Syntax
MFILE | NOMFILE


Syntax Description

MFILE
routes the MPRINT output to an external file. Restriction: The MPRINT option
must be in effect to use MFILE.


NOMFILE
does not route the MPRINT output to an external file.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

Details


MFILE is useful for debugging. Macro-generated code that is displayed by the
MPRINT option in the SAS log during macro execution is written to the
external file that is referenced by the fileref MPRINT. If there is no
MPRINT fileref, a warning message is issued and no file is written (MFILE is
turned off).

Hope this helps,
   Nancy
