Restricted Options

Restricted options are system options whose values are determined by the site administrator. They cannot be overridden. The site administrator can create a restricted options table that specifies the option values that are restricted when SAS starts. Any attempt to modify a system option that is listed in the restricted options table results in a message to the SAS log. The message indicates that the system option has been restricted by the site administrator and cannot be updated. For more information, see Restricted Options in SAS System Options: Reference.
