-ECHO "message"
-
specifies the text of the message to be
echoed to the computer. The text must be enclosed in single or double quotation
marks if the message is more than one word. Otherwise, the quotation marks
are not needed.
-
-NOECHO
-
specifies that no messages are to be echoed
to the computer.
Messages that result from errors in the
autoexec file are printed in the SAS log regardless of how the ECHO system
option is set.
You can specify multiple ECHO options. The strings
are displayed in the order in which SAS encounters them. See How SAS Processes System Options Set in Multiple Places for information on how that
order is determined.
For example, you can specify the following:
-echo "SAS 9.2 under UNIX is initializing."
The message appears in the Log window as SAS
initializes.
