| System Options under UNIX |
Summary of All SAS System Options in UNIX Environments
The following table lists every SAS system option available under UNIX. Many of these options have no host-specific behavior and are described in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary. If an option is available only under UNIX, it is described in this documentation. If an option is available under all environments, but has some environment-specific behavior, it is described in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary and this documentation. Use the following legend to know how to locate more information about an option:
