SAS Log

You can customize when the SAS log is displayed in the bottom panel by using the following extension settings. These settings apply to all connection profiles:

Name	Description	Additional Notes
SAS.log.showOnExecutionStart	Show SAS log on start of execution	default: true
SAS.log.showOnExecutionFinish	Show SAS log on end of execution	default: true

To access the SAS settings, select File > Preferences > Settings. Search for "sas" and then click SAS in the search results to view the SAS extension settings. You can edit the settings directly in the settings.json file by clicking Edit in settings.json.
