Use the RESETLINE statement to reset the program line numbers in the SAS log to 1.

Details

Program statements are identified by line numbers in the SAS log. The line numbers start with 1 and continue with the sequence of line numbering until the end of the SAS session or batch program.

You use the RESETLINE statement in your program to restart the program line numbering at 1.

Note: If you use the SPOOL system option, you can use only the %INCLUDE statement to resubmit lines of code that were submitted after the most recent RESETLINE statement.

Example: Resetting Line Numbers in the SAS Log

The following example resets the program line numbers between DATA steps.

data a;
   a=1;
run;
resetline;
data b;
   b=2;
run;

The following lines are written to the SAS log:

1    data a;
2       a=1;
3    run;

NOTE: The data set WORK.A has 1 observations and 1 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
      real time           4.79 seconds
      cpu time            0.28 seconds
