-SASHELP ("library-specification-1"…<"library-specification-n")>

Required Argument

“library-specification-1”… “library-specification-n”
specifies one or more valid Windows pathnames or environment variables that are associated with pathnames. Remember that a pathname applies only to the directory or subdirectory level. The value for library-specification must resolve to a valid Windows pathname. If the pathname contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Details

The SASHELP system option is set during the installation process and normally is not changed after installation.
Note that products and their corresponding files can be split across multiple drives and directories. The library-specification argument can be a Windows pathname or an environment variable associated with a pathname.
You can use the APPEND and INSERT system options to add additional file specifications.
