Syntax

SYSPARM()

SYSPARM allows you to access a character string specified with the SYSPARM= system option at SAS invocation or in an OPTIONS statement.

Note: If the SYSPARM= system option is not specified, the SYSPARM function returns a null string. [cautionend]

This example shows the SYSPARM= system option and the SYSPARM function.

options sysparm='yes';
data a;
   If sysparm()='yes' then
      do;
      ...SAS Statements...
      end;
run;
