In Windows, a distasteful work around might be something like this:

start /wait ...\sas.exe -noterminal -nosplash -sysin
{program-filename} -log {log-filename} & type {log-filename}

-or-

set MYSTDOUT={some-filename}
start /wait ...\sas.exe -noterminal -nosplash -sysin {program-filename} &
type {some-filename}
set MYSTDOUT=

your program would need to printto log="%sysget(MYSTDOUT)"
