Syntax

-PATH <(>"directory-specification-1" <"directory-specification-n")>

directory-specification

specifies the path to search. The value directory-specification must be a valid Windows pathname or an environment variable associated with a pathname. If the pathname contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks. If you specify more than one directory-specification, enclose the list of directory-specification in parentheses.


Details

The PATH option identifies the search paths for SAS executable files. You can specify multiple PATH options to define the search order. The paths are searched in the order in which SAS encounters them; therefore, specify at the front of the list the paths for the products that you run most frequently.
