hi all,

I have several batch programs running on Windows; I am able to redirect the log output to an external file;

Is there a way to display the log output to a screen as well, while the batch is running?

I searched the archives and tried some ideas ( using altlog/log/ terminal options, sys$output etc..) but nothing worked..most ideas seem to be specific to VMS;

I found some tip on SAS tech support:

http://support.sas.com/kb/10/200.html

However this method as is will not allow me to save log in a file; I tried to combine this idea with altlog option--and I was able to save log in a file and display log contents *after* the program is done;

What I need is to be able to display log while the program is running, and save the log to a file, in batch mode;

Can any one please suggest any approaches or ideas that might help?

Please note that I am using SAS 9.1.3 on WIN NT and each batch program is a .bat file;

thanks, Shankar
