location
file specification of a specially formatted help data set known as an itemstore. For further information on developing and using your own help information, see Using User-Defined Help.

Details

Specifying a value for the HELPLOC= system option causes SAS to insert that value at the start of a concatenated list of values, the last of which is the default value HELPDOC. This allows you to access your own help information without losing access to SAS help. After two specifications of HELPLOC=, the value of the system option is of the following form: 

helploc-specification-2, helploc-specification-1, HELPDOC
Both of the specifications in the example above could consist of concatenated lists of help itemstore file specifications.
