can be CMPLIB, FMTSEARCH, MAPS, SASAUTOS, or SASSCRIPT.
specifies a new value that you want as the first value of system-option.
argument can be any value that could be specified for system-option if system-option is set using the OPTIONS statement.
| Details |
If you specify a new value for the CMPLIB=, FMTSEARCH=, MAPS=, SASAUTOS=, or SASSCRIPT= system options, the new value replaces the value of the option. Instead of replacing the value, you can use the INSERT= system option to add an additional value to the option as the first value of the option.
| Comparison |
The INSERT= system option adds a new value to the beginning of the current value of the CMPLIB=, FMTSEARCH=, MAPS=, SASAUTOS=, or SASSCRIPT= system options. The APPEND= system option adds a new value to the end of one of these system options.
| Examples |
The following table shows the results of adding a value to the beginning of the FMTSEARCH= option value:
| Current FMTSEARCH= Value | Value of INSERT= System Option | New FMTSEARCH= Value |
|---|---|---|
| (WORK LIBRARY) | (fmtsearch=(abc def)) | (ABC DEF WORK LIBRARY) |
