MINSTG
tells SAS to minimize storage in use.

Details

The MINSTG system option tells SAS to minimize its use of storage by returning unused storage and deleting unused load modules at the termination of steps and pop-up windows. This option should be used on memory-constrained systems or when sharing the address space with other applications, such as ISPF split-screen or multisession products. If MINSTG is in effect, then CATCACHE= is set to 0.
