ECHO "message"
specifies the text of the message to be echoed to the SAS log. The text must be enclosed in either single or double quotation marks if the message is more than one word. Otherwise, quotation marks are not needed

-NOECHO
specifies that no messages are to be echoed to the SAS log.

Details

Messages that result from errors in the autoexec file are printed in the SAS log regardless of how the ECHO system option is set.

Example

For example, you can specify the following: 

-echo "Version 8 of the SAS System under 
       OS/2 is initializing."

The message appears in the LOG window as the SAS System initializes.
