I searched our project using Code Reference and there is no SYS(3054 in it.

But here is very simple reproducible scenario:

Create a program
with the following lines
private pcInfo

SYS(3092, "SQLLog.TXT")
sys(3054,12,"pcInfo")
*some select statement

Then run any select statement in the command window. You'll see output displayed on the screen. That's what happenning here.
