-INSERT 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 insert
at the beginning of 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 specification is the one that SAS uses. If you want to insert additional
pathnames at the beginning of the search paths already specified by one of
these options, you must use the INSERT 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 /apps/help
If you want SAS to look in both the current path for help files and
in /apps/help,
and if you want SAS to search /apps/help first, then you must use the
INSERT option:
sas -insert helploc /apps/help
If
your current path for help files is !SASROOT/X11/native_help, then for the
value of the HELPLOC option, PROC OPTIONS will now show:
('/apps/help' '!SASROOT/X11/native_help')
