AUTOEXEC=file-specification | NOAUTOEXEC

file-specification: identifies an external file. Under OS/390, it can be a valid DDname, a physical file name, or the name of a file stored in the directory structure of UNIX System Services. The DDname must have been previously associated with an external file using either a TSO ALLOCATE command or a JCL DD statement.
NOAUTOEXEC: disables AUTOEXEC, as if the file-specification was null.

Details

The autoexec file contains SAS statements that are executed automatically when you invoke SAS. The autoexec file can contain any SAS statements. For example, you can include LIBNAME statements for SAS data libraries that you access routinely in SAS sessions.

During initialization, SAS checks to see whether the SASEXEC DDname has been allocated. If so, SAS initializes AUTOEXEC= to SASEXEC, else it sets it to blank.
