Details

If you specify the VERBOSE system option at SAS invocation, the settings of all SAS system options that were set at SAS invocation or in the configuration files are displayed in the following order:

settings in the system configuration file
settings in the user configuration file, if you have one
settings at SAS invocation.

If you specify the VERBOSE system option in a configuration file, only the options that are processed after VERBOSE is encountered are displayed. In other words, VERBOSE can appear in a configuration file, but the resulting options list then includes only those options that follow it in the configuration file.

The settings are written to your SAS log. If you invoke SAS interactively, and your SAS log is not available, the settings are displayed on the screen. If you invoke SAS as part of a batch job, and your SAS log is not available, the settings are written to your SASCLOG or the batch job log.
