-ECHO 'text-string'|CLS | -NOECHO
|
The ECHO option has three forms:
- -ECHO
'text-string'
- specifies the text of the message you want
to display. The text must be enclosed in quotes and should fit on a single
line. The message is displayed before the SAS session begins and is sent
to standard output but not to the SAS log.
- -ECHO CLS
- clears the display before the SAS System
initializes.
- -NOECHO
- specifies that the system ignore all previous
ECHO options. If the NOECHO option is used in the SAS command, any ECHO options
in the configuration file are ignored.
You can specify multiple ECHO options. The strings are displayed in the order
in which SAS encounters them. See Processing System Options Set in Multiple Places
for information on how that order is
determined.
