Problem Note 33364: The NOCOLORPGM option is described in the SAS® Help documentation, but it is not a valid option and should not be used
 |  |  |  |
SAS Help documentation contains information about the NOCOLORPGM option, even though this option is no longer valid. The SAS Online Documentation does not include this information.
The Help documentation incorrectly states that the appearance tab will not be displayed. When this option is used, the appearance tab still is displayed and the Program Editor window displays no color font. Additionally, when setting this option, Display SAS in color is still checked.
When the following code is submitted:
proc options option=nocolorpgm;
run;
the following error occurs:
ERROR: Unrecognized SAS option name COLORPGM
To maintain consistent behavior and avoid errors, do not use the NOCOLORPGM option.
