Introduction to System Options

This chapter provides a detailed description of the system options used with SAS/GRAPH software. The descriptions provide the syntax, defaults, and related options for each option.
The system options are listed alphabetically.
System options are instructions that affect the processing of an entire SAS program or interactive SAS session from the time the option is specified until it is changed. Examples of items that are controlled by SAS system options include the appearance of SAS output, the handling of some files that are used by SAS, the use of system variables, and the processing of observations in SAS data sets.
