Specifies how often the Log and Output windows scroll to display
output.

n specifies the number of lines
that the window should scroll when it receives a line of data that cannot
fit.
The AUTOSCROLL command controls the scrolling
of lines as they are written to the Log and Output windows. The default value
for AUTOSCROLL in the Log and Output windows is 1
. Processing is slower
when AUTOSCROLL displays one line at a time. To expedite processing, you
can specify a greater AUTOSCROLL value in your autoexec.sas file. Specifying
a value of 0 optimizes processing and results in the fastest scrolling (similar
to jump scrolling in xterm windows). To add the AUTOSCROLL command to your
autoexec.sas file, you must use the DM command. The following example maximizes
scrolling in both the Log and Output windows:
dm 'output; autoscroll 0; log; autoscroll 0; pgm;';
