HELPLOC=pathname<,pathname-2,...,pathname-n>

pathname

specifies one or more directory pathnames in which the online SAS Help and Documentation files are located. The Pathname must be a fully qualified OpenVMS filename.


Details

Specifying a value for the HELPLOC= system option causes SAS to insert that value at the start of a list of concatenated values, the last of which is the default value. This enables you to access the help for your site without losing access to the online SAS Help and Documentation.

For example, after two values are supplied for HELPLOC=, the specification list has the following form:

helploc-specification-2, helploc-specification-1, SAS$ROOT:[X11.NATIVE_HELP]
