Base SAS Software: SAS Language Elements

System Options

The following system options are new:
- When set to YES, AUTOSIGNON= causes the RSUBMIT command or statement to automatically execute a SIGNON command, if no current connection exists.
- SYSPRINTFONT specifies which font to use when printing with the current default printer.
- UUIDCOUNT= specifies the number of UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) to acquire each time the UUID generator daemon is used.
- UUIDGENDHOST= identifies the host and port of the UUID generator daemon.
The following system options have been changed or enhanced:
- When a request is made to compress a SAS data set with the COMPRESS= system option, SAS now determines whether the resulting compressed file will be larger than an uncompressed file. If so, SAS creates an uncompressed data set and issues a warning message stating that the file has not been compressed.
- The PROBSIG= system option no longer has any effect on the printed output of statistical procedures. It has been superseded by features in the TEMPLATE procedure, which is part of ODS, the Output Delivery System.
