hex16 is the shortest;
if you want a natural, i.e. readable date-time stamp,
consider datetime22.2
but you will have to convert the special characters

erwrite_altlog
note that this trick is allocating the value of the -next- altlog
OT: The LogParse suite has a routine which writes a header record to the
log
which contains the actual JobTime-Start
http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi30/219-30.pdf
here is the sas url for fullstimer which contains the logparse macro
and PassInfo macro which writes a log header

2. In the first paragraph of text (in the middle column),
click on download this ZIP file to download the logparse.zip ZIP file to
your desktop.
3. Expand the logparse.zip ZIP file to extract its contents. That will
create a folder containing three SAS
Macro programs and a readme.txt file.

Eventually you will arrive at %including a program in either of:
* autoexec
* initstmt
to overwrite the altlog value
you get one log per (batch) job, or user session
