-SPLASHLOC DLL-name <res-number> | BMP-filename

Required Arguments

DLL-name: specifies the dynamic link library (DLL) where your customized logo and copyright screen reside.

res-number: specifies the resource number connected with the dynamic link library (DLL) name.

BMP-filename: specifies the path and name of a stand-alone Windows bitmap (BMP) file to use as a splash screen.

Details

You can create a bitmap resource (a customized logo and copyright screen) and build it into a dynamic link library (DLL). The DLL that you use must be 32-bit if you are running a 32-bit version of SAS or it must be 64-bit if you are running a 64-bit version of SAS (that is, created using the libraries from the Microsoft Platform SDK). If you specify DLL-name without a resource number (res-number), the default resource number is 1.

Alternatively, you can specify the path and name of a stand-alone Windows bitmap (BMP) file to use as a splash screen. The path must be a valid Windows pathname. If the pathname contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks.
