Subject:   Re: Log checkers, new ERROR: style in v9 ?

Hi All,

While I'm not a fan on such inconsistencies, this is not a new one. A search of SAS-L archives shows that the message:

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

Goes back at least to 1994. So this bug might have been biting folks already. My current log checker looks at each line, grabs the first word (using space and : as delimiter) and keeps it if it is NOTE WARNING or ERROR. It seems to work reasonable well. Seems to me there may be some other messages I've missed (is it possible to get an error message starting with "FATAL" which does not also produce another standard ERROR message, or at least a WARNING?)

Kind Regards, --Quentin
