SAS Companion for the CMS Environment

Summary Table of SAS System Options

The following table lists all the SAS system options available to SAS users under the CMS operating environment. The table provides you with the following information about each SAS system option:

A few options have different default values depending on the mode in which the SAS System is running. For these options, the following abbreviations are used to distinguish the default values:
(b) the default value in batch or noninteractive mode
(i) the default value in interactive line mode
(w) the default value in windowing environment mode.

The Specified In column indicates where you can set or change the option's value. The following abbreviations represent these circumstances:
SI SAS invocation
CF Configuration file
OS OPTIONS statement
OW OPTIONS window
all All of the above.

Here is a key to abbreviations in the See column:
CAM Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE Software
COMP the description of the system option earlier in this section of the SAS Companion for the CMS Environment.
CON SAS/CONNECT Software: Usage and Reference
INST the option documented in the SAS installation instructions for the CMS environment.
LR SAS Language Reference: Dictionary
SHR SAS/SHARE User's Guide

For example, look up the BATCH system option. You see that the default is NOBATCH. Read across to the Specified In column. You see that you can set this option upon SAS invocation or in a SAS configuration file. Now read across to the column labeled See. The text LR COMP means that more information about this option is available in SAS Companion for the CMS Environment, as well as in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary.

Where two references are listed in the See column, the first reference is the primary source of information and should be consulted first.
