MSGLEVEL=message-level

message-level

can have the following values:

I	prints informatory, note, warning, and error messages.
N	prints note, warning, and error messages.

When SAS uses an index to optimize a WHERE or BY statement, it does not normally generate a log note about it. However, if MSGLEVEL=I, SAS writes a note to the log whenever it uses an index to optimize a statement.
