The APPEND= system option allows you to append a value to the existing value of the specified system option. One of the options APPEND= works with is the SASAUTOS= system option. APPEND= will allow you to append a new autocall macro library to the existing value of the SASAUTOS= option without having to retype the entire value for the SASAUTOS= option.

NOTE: This option is first available in SAS9.2TS2M2.

/*the following will write to the log the current value of SASAUTOS=*/
%put %sysfunc(getoption(sasautos));
