SAS Companion for the OS/2 Environment

Summary of SAS System Options under OS/2

Summary of SAS System Options lists all the system options available to SAS System users under the OS/2 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 OS/2 and are completely described here. Some system options are described in both this document 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 OS/2 Environment, the system option is to be used as described in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary.  [cautionend]

Use the following legend to determine where to find more information on a system option:
COMP indicates that the option is completely described here. Some options are not applicable to the OS/2 operating environment; these options are listed in System Options Not Applicable in the OS/2 Environment.

CONN indicates that the option is described in SAS/CONNECT User's Guide
SHR indicates that the option is described in SAS/SHARE User's Guide
METH indicates that the option is described in Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE Software
ACC indicates that the option is described in SAS/ACCESS Software for Relational Databases: Reference
