Details

How you specify multiple directory names in the same SASSCRIPT option depends on where you specify the SASSCRIPT option:
  • If you specify the option in the configuration file or in the SASV9_OPTIONS environment variable, use either multiple SASSCRIPT options, or enclose the directory names in parentheses. Separate the names with a comma or a blank space.
  • If you specify the option in the SAS command, use multiple SASSCRIPT options because parentheses cause syntax errors.
  • If you specify the option in the OPTIONS statement or in the SAS System Options window, you must enclose the directory names in parentheses. Separate the names with a comma or a blank space.
