OPTIONS Procedure

Displaying Restricted Options

Your site administrator can restrict some system options so that your SAS session adheres to options that are set for your site. Restricted options can be modified only by your site administrator. The OPTIONS procedure provides two options that display information about restricted options. The RESTRICT option lists the system options that your site administrator has restricted. The LISTRESTRICT option lists the options that can be restricted by your site administrator. For a listing of options that cannot be restricted, see System Options That Cannot Be Restricted in SAS System Options: Reference.

The following SAS logs shows the output when the RESTRICT option is specified and partial output when the LISTRESTRICT option is specified.
