Details

The COLOR command enables you to set the color for specific elements of the active window.

To save your changes beyond your current session, do one of the following:

Issue the WSAVE command. The changes are saved to SASUSER.PROFILE.window.WSAVE.
From the View menu, select Change display , and then select Save attributes .

Note: The WSAVE command is not available for all SAS windows. For example, with SAS/FSP software, changes are saved either through the EDPARMS window or the PARMS window. To determine whether WSAVE is available for a particular SAS window, see the product documentation. [cautionend]

Both the COLOR command and the WSAVE command override actions in the SASCOLOR window. That is, COLOR and WSAVE override the use of CPARMS colors for that particular window without affecting the CPARMS values for other SAS windows.
