CLEANUP

does not prompt you before the SAS System attempts to clean up your disk. However, when an out-of-disk-space condition occurs and your display is attached to the process, you are prompted with a menu selection even if the CLEANUP option is on.

When the CLEANUP option is on, the SAS System performs automatic continuous cleanup. If not enough resources are recovered, the request for the resource fails, and an appropriate error message is written to the SAS log.

CLEANUP is the default in batch mode because there is no display attached to the process to accommodate prompting.

NOCLEANUP

prompts you before the SAS System attempts to clean up your disk. NOCLEANUP is the default if you are running the SAS System in any mode except batch.

Details

The CLEANUP system option indicates whether you are prompted with a menu of items to clean up when the SAS System encounters an out-of-resource condition.

When CLEANUP is on, you are not prompted for any out-of-resource condition except for out-of-disk-space conditions. If you do not want to be prompted for out-of-disk-space conditions, use the CLEANUP option in conjunction with the NOTERMINAL option.

If you specify NOCLEANUP, a dialog box prompts you for input when the SAS System runs out of a resource. On every menu except the out-of-disk-space menu, you can select Continuous. If you choose Continuous, the CLEANUP system option is turned on, and you are not prompted again in out-of-resource conditions, unless the SAS System runs out of disk space.
