SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 38504: Setting -NOASYNCHIO in SAS® 9.2 will cause the order of precedence for SAS configuration files to not be honored
 |  |  |  |
By default, SAS reads options from the sasv9.cfg configuration files in the following order:
- sasv9.cfg in the !SASROOT directory
- .sasv9.cfg in your home directory (Notice the leading period.)
- sasv9.cfg in your home directory
- sasv9.cfg in your current directory
If, at any time during the invocation of SAS, SAS reads the -NOASYCHIO option, the order of precedence will not be honored. This can cause options specified in configuration files to be ignored.
The -NOASYCHIO option is not needed for SAS 9.2, and should not be used.
