System Options for Remote Browsing

After the remote browser server is running on your computer, you can run the remote browsing system by specifying the HELPHOST and HELPPORT system options.
  • The HELPHOST system option specifies the name of your host computer where the remote browsing system is to be displayed. If you do not specify this option, then the host name specified in the X display name is used. For more information, see HELPHOST System Option: UNIX.
  • The HELPPORT system option specifies the port number for the remote browser server that is installed on your computer. Under UNIX, you can use the default value for this option. For more information, see the HELPPORT= System Option in SAS System Options: Reference.
You can set these options in your configuration file, at SAS invocation, or during your SAS session in the OPTIONS statement or in the SAS System Options window.
