The OPTIONS procedure
lists the current settings of the SAS system options.
The options displayed
by the OPTIONS procedure that are not operating environment specific
(session and configuration) are the same for every operating environment,
although the default values can differ slightly. However, the environment-specific
options displayed by this procedure are different for each operating
environment. The following display shows some sample operating environment
options for the Windows environment, as generated by this code:
proc options host;
run;

NOTE: PROCEDURE OPTIONS used:( Total process time)
real time 0.01 seconds
cpu time 0.01 secondsThe option values listed
are examples. The output of PROC OPTIONS depends on many things.
Some option values depend on what method you use to run SAS. For
example, the default line size under the SAS windowing environment
is 75 lines on a VGA display, while it is 132 lines in batch mode.
Also, the way you have set up your process affects the default values
of system options. For example, the default value of the SASAUTOS=
option depends on where you store your autocall macros.
Using PROC OPTIONS,
you can check the values of all system options. If you want more
information about a particular operating environment option, refer
to
variable attributes
in SAS System Options under Windows or Using SAS Software in Your Operating Environment in the SAS
Help and Documentation.
