title: SAS Print a value in the log
body: <p>I just want to print the output of a simple operation to the SAS log. </p>
  
  <p>For instance, how can I see the value of <code>quantile('T', .75, 1000)</code>? Is there a smarter way to check what does <code>quantile('T', .75, 1000)</code> equal to than printing it to the log?</p>
  
  <pre><code>%let t_value = quantile('T', .75, 1000); 
  %put &amp;t_value.;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Others use a proc procedure <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34790611/put-print-mean-of-a-variable-to-log-in-sas">as here</a> but I cannot believe I need to create a data set to check a value... </p>
