Syntax

OVP | NOOVP

OVP: specifies that overprinting of error messages is enabled.
NOOVP: specifies that overprinting of error messages is disabled. This is the default.

When OVP is specified, error messages are emphasized when SAS overprints the error message two additional times with overprint characters.

When output is displayed to a monitor, OVP is overridden and is changed to NOOVP.
