Syntax

-CONFIG file-specification | –NOCONFIG

-CONFIG file-specification: specifies a configuration file to be read. The file-specification must resolve to a valid UNIX filename.

-NOCONFIG: specifies that any previous CONFIG specification should be ignored and that the default system options should be used.

Configuration files contain system option specifications that execute automatically whenever SAS is invoked.

Specifying a configuration file disables the default configuration file list.
