Syntax

DMSOUTSIZE= n | nK | hexX | MIN | MAX

n | nK: specifies the maximum number of rows that can be displayed in the SAS windowing environment Output window in multiples of 1 (n) or 1,024 (nK). For example, a value of 800 specifies 800 rows, and a value of 3K specifies 3,072 rows. Valid values range from 500 to 999999. The default is 99999.
hexX: specifies the maximum number of rows that can be displayed in the SAS windowing environment Output window as a hexadecimal value. You must specify the value beginning with a number (0-9), followed by an X. For example, 2ffx specifies 767 rows and 0A00x specifies 2,560 rows.
MIN: specifies to set the maximum number of rows that can be displayed in the SAS windowing environment Output window to 500.
MAX: specifies to set the maximum number of rows that can be displayed in the SAS windowing environment Output window to 999999.

When the maximum number of rows have been displayed in the Output window, SAS prompts you to either file, print, save, or clear the Output window.
