Details

The PATH system option identifies the search paths for SAS executable files. You can specify multiple PATH options to define the search order. The paths are searched in the order in which SAS encounters them; therefore, specify at the beginning of the list the paths for the products that you run most frequently. See How SAS Processes System Options Set in Multiple Places for information about how that order is determined when you specify the PATH system option more than once.
