-APPEND system-option new-option-value
|
-
system-option
-
can be FMTSEARCH, HELPLOC, MAPS, MSG, SASAUTOS,
or SASHELP.
-
new-option-value
-
is the new value that you want to append
to the current value of system-option.
By default, if you specify the FMTSEARCH, HELPLOC, MAPS,
MSG, SASAUTOS, or SASHELP system option more than one time, the last value
that is specified is the value that SAS uses. If you want to add additional
pathnames to the pathnames already specified by one of these options, you
must use the APPEND system option to add the new pathname. For example, if
you entered the following SAS command, the only location that SAS will look
for help files is /apps/help,
and the output of PROC OPTIONS will show only /apps/help:
sas -helploc /sas/help -helploc /apps/help
If you want SAS to look in both locations for help files, you must
use the APPEND option:
sas -helploc /sas/help -append helploc /apps/help
For the value of the HELPLOC option, PROC OPTIONS will now show the
following:
('/sas/help' '/apps/help')
