| EDITCMD="host-editor-pathname editor-options" |
| Details |
The host editor that you specify is used when you issue the HOSTEDIT command. The HOSTEDIT command is valid only when you are running SAS in a windowing environment.
If you do not specify the full pathname, SAS searches the pathnames specified in the $PATH environment variable. Quotes are needed only when you specify editor options. If you are using a terminal-based editor, you must specify a command that runs the editor inside a terminal emulator window. For example, to use vi, you would specify
sas -editcmd "/usr/bin/X11/xterm -e /usr/bin/vi"
