SAS Data Set Options

You can apply SAS data set options on a table when you access a data source. A data set option applies only to the table on which it is specified, and it remains in effect for the duration of the DATA step or SAS procedure. For example, you can process a segment of data with SAS data set options such as FIRSTOBS= and OBS=.
However, the data set options that you can use depend on the data source. The supported data set options are listed in Data Set Options for FEDSVR Engine.
