SORTPARM='string'

string: is a string of parameters. It can contain up to 255 characters. Single quotes are optional unless string contains blanks or special characters.

Details

The string of parameters that you specify is appended to the OPTIONS statement that is generated by the SAS host sort interface. This enables you to specify options that are unique to the particular sort utility you are using. The sort utility must accept a 31-bit parameter list and an OPTIONS statement; otherwise, this option is ignored.
