-
NEWS=file-specification
-
specifies an external file. The value for file-specification can be a valid OpenVMS pathname
or logical name.
-
NONEWS
-
specifies that the contents of the NEWS
file is not displayed in the SAS log, even if the file exists.
Under OpenVMS, the default behavior is
to search for the SAS$NEWS logical
name. If it is found, the contents of the NEWS file are displayed in the SAS
log immediately after the SAS header.
If no SAS$NEWS logical name exists, no news is written to the SAS log.
