NOXTIMEOUT |
Details |
This option affects only the following form of the X command or X statement:
X 'DCL-command'
When an X statement or X command spawns a subprocess to issue one specific DCL command, the subprocess is not automatically deleted when control returns to the SAS System; it remains active based on the value of the XTIMEOUT= system option.
Each time an X statement or X command is issued, the timer is reset to the value specified in the XTIMEOUT= system option. When the subprocess remains inactive for the time period specified by XTIMEOUT=, the subprocess is deleted.
Note: When certain DCL commands are submitted by an
X statement or X command, any existing subprocess is deleted regardless of
the value of the XTIMEOUT= system
option.
