SYSECHO SAS--what should be happening?

So I have the following code, I'll keep it simple. But I want to know what should be happening in SAS and where I should be getting the message output at because I currently can't see them and I'm not sure if my program is too large for SAS to process.

I am running EG 7.1.

%macro membership(club=);
    proc sql;
      do some stuff;

    quit;
%mend;
%membership(club=8th);
sysecho "1st membership table finished.";
