OPTIONS Statement

You can use the OPTIONS statement to specify system option settings at any time during a SAS session, except within data lines or parmcard lines. Settings remain in effect for the duration of the session or until you reset them with another OPTIONS statement.

Not all system options can be specified in an OPTIONS statement. Summary Table of SAS System Options tells where each system option can be specified.

Here is an example of an OPTIONS statement: 

options nodate linesize=72;

For more information about the OPTIONS statement, see SAS Language Reference: Dictionary.
