CLEANUP
-
specifies that during the entire session,
SAS attempts to perform automatic, continuous cleanup of resources that are
not essential for execution. Nonessential resources include those resources
that are not visible to the user (for example, cache memory) and those resources
that are visible to the user (for example, the Keys window).
CLEANUP does not prompt you before SAS attempts to clean
up your disk. However, when an out-of-disk-space condition occurs and your
display is attached to the process, you are prompted with a menu selection
even if the CLEANUP option is on. If you do not want to be prompted for out-of-disk-space
conditions, use the CLEANUP option with the NOTERMINAL option.
When the CLEANUP option is on, SAS performs automatic
continuous cleanup. If not enough resources are recovered, the request for
the resource fails, and an appropriate error message is written to the SAS
log.
CLEANUP is the default in batch mode because there is
no display attached to the process to accommodate prompting.
-
NOCLEANUP
-
specifies that SAS allows the user to choose
how to handle an out-of-resource condition. When NOCLEANUP is in effect and
SAS cannot execute because of a lack of resources, SAS automatically attempts
to clean up resources that are not visible to the user (for example, cache
memory). However, resources that are visible to the user (for example, the
Keys window) are not automatically cleaned up. Instead, SAS prompts you before
attempting to clean up your disk.
The CLEANUP system option indicates whether
you should be prompted with a menu of items to be cleaned up when SAS encounters
an out-of-resource condition. In batch mode, SAS ignores this option, and
if an out-of-resource condition occurs, the SAS session terminates.
