| Details |
The SET option lets you define an environment
variable that is valid within the SAS session and any shell started from within
the SAS session. Using the SET option is similar to using the SAS
setenv command. See Executing Operating System Commands from Your SAS Session for details
.
A special use for the SET option is to specify the name of the SASROOT directory:
-set SASROOT pathnameThe pathname specified can then be used to expand
!SASROOT (as shown in Character Substitutions in Pathnames).
After exiting your SAS session, environment variables that are set with the SET option no longer exist.
