Method 1: Non-macro code

dm "log; clear; output; clear; odsresults; clear;" ;
options nocenter nodate nonumber;
options formchar="|----|+|---+=|-/\<>*";
ods html close;
ods listing;
FILENAME MYLOG 'C:\Explore\SAS\Lesson1\SAS_Codes\Test3_log.TXT';
FILENAME MYPRINT 'C:\Explore\SAS\Lesson1\SAS_Codes\Test3_OUTPUT.TXT';
PROC PRINTTO LOG=MYLOG PRINT=MYPRINT NEW;
RUN;

TITLE 'Listing from SASHELP.CLASS';
PROC PRINT data=sashelp.class;
RUN;

PROC PRINTTO;
RUN;

Method 2: Macro code

%let path = C:\Explore\SAS\Lesson1\SAS_Codes;
%let myname = Oneness;

FILENAME MYLOG "&path.\&myname._Test3x_log.TXT";
FILENAME MYPRINT "&path.\&myname._Test3x_OUTPUT.TXT";
PROC PRINTTO LOG=MYLOG PRINT=MYPRINT NEW;
