HOST | NOHOST: displays only host options (HOST) or only portable options (NOHOST). PORTABLE is an alias for NOHOST.

Details

Portable options are the same in all operating environments. To see a list of these options, submit

proc options portable;
run;

Certain portable options have aspects that are specific to z/OS. All portable options with z/OS aspects are documented in Summary Table of SAS System Options, along with all of the portable SAS portable options.

Other options are entirely specific to the z/OS environment. To see a list of these options, submit

proc options host;
run;

All options that are specific to z/OS are documented in Summary Table of SAS System Options, along with all of the portable SAS portable options.

The following options cause the OPTIONS procedure to list the system options that are specific to the following SAS software products or applications. While the OPTIONS procedure still accepts the following one-word options, it is recommended that you use the associated GROUP= option instead:

ADB GROUP=ADABAS	SAS/ACCESS interface to ADABAS
APF GROUP=INSTALL	system administrators
DB2 GROUP=DB2	SAS/ACCESS interface to DB2
DDB GROUP=DATACOM	SAS/ACCESS interface to CA-DATACOM/DB
IDM GROUP=IDMS	SAS/ACCESS interface to CA-IDMS
IMS GROUP=IMS	SAS/ACCESS interface to IMS
ISP GROUP=ISPF	SAS interface to ISPF (see SAS Interface to ISPF)
SORT GROUP=SORT	sorts observations in a SAS data set

For more information about SAS system options that are associated with a particular SAS/ACCESS interface, see the documentation for that SAS/ACCESS interface.
