SAS Companion for the OpenVMS Operating Environment

Getting Help

In the SAS windowing environment, extensive online help is available. You can get information in an abbreviated form or in a more complete form. For the shorter form, select SAS System Help from the Help menu in the active window. Various topics are available from this point.

To access the OpenVMS documentation online, from the Help menu in the active window, select Books and Training, and then select SAS OnlineDoc. You can open various SAS documentation from this point.

Note: The SAS online documentation must also be installed for SAS OnlineDoc to function correctly. [cautionend]

Setting Your System for Help and Online Documentation

In Version 8, the SAS online Help system and other online documentation can be displayed only by using an HTML browser. You have to specify the browser and its location before you can use it.

From the Tools menu in the active window, select Options, and then select Preferences to open the Preferences dialog box. Then select the DMS tab. In the Help and Documentation Browser field, specify the Netscape browser and point to the location of its executable file.
