SASHELP='library' | ('library-1' ...'library-n') |

where filetype specifies the SAS help library, and filemode | SFS-directory | * is the disk on which the SASHELP library resides.
Details |
The SASHELP library can be specified as a single library or as a concatenated list of libraries, which enables you to create your own help libraries and append them to the library provided with SAS. SAS searches for members through all libraries, following the order of the libraries in the concatenated list.
Concatenated library specifications require an explicit filetype of SASHELP. Without the filetype, SAS will not be able to locate individual members within the specified library.
The SASHELP library can be stored in a CMS saved segment for improved system performance. The implementation of saved segments takes place at SAS installation time, as described in the installation instructions for the SAS System in the CMS environment.
SAS uses the SASHELP library in a saved segment only if all of the following conditions are true:
