Summary of SAS System Options lists all the system options available to SAS System users under the Windows operating environment. Many of these options have no system-dependent behavior and are described completely in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary. Others are available only under Windows and are completely described here. Some system options are described here and in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary.
Note: Some system options in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary
indicate that the system option may have additional operating environment
information and to refer to the SAS documentation for your operating environment.
If such a system option is not described in SAS Companion for the Microsoft Windows Environment, the system option is
to be used as described in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary. ![[cautionend]](../common/images/cautend.gif)
