VERBOSE | NOVERBOSE

Details

If you specify the VERBOSE system option at SAS invocation, the settings of all SAS system options that were set at SAS invocation or in the configuration files will be displayed in the following order:

  1. settings in the system configuration file

  2. settings in the user configuration file, if you have one

  3. settings at SAS invocation.

If you specify the VERBOSE system option in a configuration file, only the options that are processed after VERBOSE is encountered are displayed. In other words, VERBOSE can appear in a configuration file, but the resulting options list then includes only those options that follow it in the configuration file.

If you invoke SAS at a terminal, the settings are displayed at the terminal. If you invoke SAS as part of a batch job, the settings are written to the batch job log.
