SAS log not including code

I'm facing the following situation. The sas log since some days is not more including the original code, BUT only

Before, the log was working as expected, including the code too.

I have checked on the web but being unable to find a solution.

Question : There is some option/code which is able to restore the option to have the code too included in the log?

Update: As per Richard, the first option didn't solve the issue. Below the log for the two option you suggested:

Another option for showing (generated) SAS code is options mprint; - as per documentation, this will show the code generated by SAS macros (if any).

Whilst it won't show code, options notes; gives a more verbose log, and - whilst on by default - is sometimes switched off for performance reasons.

Try checking or setting the SOURCE option

options SOURCE;

If that does not appear to fix the problem, update the question with the log shown after submitting this code:

proc options group=logcontrol;
run;

proc options group=log_listcontrol;
run;
