string: contains valid parameters for the host sort program.

Details

The SORTPARM system option specifies a string to be appended to the OPTION statement that is passed to the host sort program, enabling the user to specify options unique to the particular host sort program being used. The SORTPARM value is used only if the SORT31PL system option is in effect.

The value of the string is not interpreted by SAS but is simply passed through to the host sort program. The value must be something that the host sort program allows following the OPTION keyword, and it must not conflict with any option set by SAS.
