The AUTOSCROLL command
controls the scrolling of lines as they are written to the Log and
Output windows. The default value for AUTOSCROLL in the Log and Output
windows is
1
. Processing is slower when AUTOSCROLL
displays one line at a time. To expedite processing, you can specify
a greater AUTOSCROLL value in your autoexec.sas file. Specifying
a value of 0 optimizes processing and results in the fastest scrolling
(similar to jump scrolling in xterm windows). To add the AUTOSCROLL
command to your autoexec.sas file, you must use the DM command. The
following example maximizes scrolling in both the Log and Output windows:
dm 'output; autoscroll 0; log; autoscroll 0; pgm;';
