Details
The PATH system option
identifies the search paths for SAS executable files. You can specify
multiple PATH options to define the search order. The paths are searched
in the order in which SAS encounters them. Therefore, specify at the
beginning of the list the paths for the products that you run most
frequently. For information about how that order is determined when
you specify the PATH system option more that once, see
How SAS Processes System Options Set in Multiple Places.
