-
WORKTERM
-
erases the WORK files at the termination
of a SAS session.
-
NOWORKTERM
-
does not erase the WORK files.
Although NOWORKTERM prevents the WORK
data sets from being deleted, it has no effect on initialization of the WORK
library by SAS. SAS normally initializes the WORK library at the start of
each session, which effectively destroys any pre-existing information.
Use the NOWORKINIT system option to prevent
SAS from erasing existing WORK files on invocation. Use the NOWORKTERM system
option to prevent SAS from erasing existing WORK files on termination.
