System Options under OpenVMS

Determining How an Option Was Set under OpenVMS

Because of the relationship between some SAS system options, SAS can modify an option's value. This modification might change your results.

To determine how an option was set, enter the following code in the SAS Program Editor:

proc options option=option value; 
run;

After you submit this code, the SAS Log window will display this information. The following output is displayed when you enter

proc options option=CATCACHE value; 
run;

Option Value Information for SAS Option CATCACHE
      Option Value:  0
      Option Scope:  Default
      How option value was set:  Shipped Default

Options that are set by SAS will often say "Internal" in the How option value was set field.
