Syntax

WSTATUSLN <ON | OFF> <ALL | MSG<=percent-msg> | CDIR<=percent-cdir>>

no arguments: toggles the status line on and off.

The first argument is optional, but if you specify it, you must include it before the second group of options:

ON: displays the status line in its most recent active state. If the status line includes a message area, the message lines in the SAS application windows are disabled. ON is the default setting.
OFF: turns off the status line. This enables the message lines in the SAS application windows.

The second group of arguments is also optional. Note that specifying these options without specifying the ON option first does not automatically turn the status line on if it is currently off.

MSG<=percent-msg>: includes the message area as part of the status line. If you specify this option without the CDIR option, the message area occupies the entire status line. If you specify a percentage with this option and with the CDIR option, the message area occupies the proportion of the line that you specify.
CDIR<=percent-cdir>: includes the current folder as part of the status line. If you specify this option without the MSG option, the current folder area occupies the entire status line. If you specify a percentage with this option and with the MSG option, the current folder area occupies the proportion of the line that you specify.
ALL: includes both the message area and the current folder areas on the status line. If you do not specify the MSG and CDIR options with percentage values, the status line proportions revert to the most recent settings. ALL is the default setting.

Details

The WSTATUSLN command specifies whether the status line of the active window is on or off and specifies the proportions of the status line that the message area and the current folder area occupy. You can also toggle the status line in the Preferences dialog box View page.

Example

To display a status line that is evenly divided between the message display and the current folder display, issue the following command:

wstatusln on msg=50 cdir=50
