| AUTOSCROLL <number-of-lines | PAGE | MAX> |
| Details |
Under Windows, the default value for the AUTOSCROLL command in the OUTPUT window is 0 (meaning that no output is written to that window while statements are executing, which provides the best performance). In the LOG window, the default value is 1.
Scrolling can increase the length of time that the SAS System takes to run your program. The less scrolling that the LOG and OUTPUT windows have to do, the faster that your program will run. The advantage of keeping the AUTOSCROLL setting of the LOG window at 1 is that the SAS System uses the LOG window to notify you of the status of the running program.
You can also set scrolling options in the Preferences dialog box Advanced page.
