Problem Note 45807: The SAS® option SASHELP takes precedence over the SASHELP data definition (DD) statement in the RENEW job

DetailsAboutRate It

In the RENEW jobs provided for SAS® 9.2 and later, there is a SASHELP option setting in the CONFIG file that overrides the SASHELP DD card in the job.

To make it easier to see exactly what SASHELP file you are updating when you run the RENEW job, add SASHELP=SASHELP to the options parameter at invocation in the RENEW job. The following example shows this with the addition highlighted:

//RENEW    EXEC PGM=SAS,
//  PARM=('SETINIT MSGCASE CAPSOUT ERRORABEND NOWORKTERM',
//        'MACRO ERRORCHECK=STRICT SASUSER=WORK SASHELP=SASHELP')
