Behavior or Syntax That Is Specific to UNIX Environments
This section describes
SAS system options that have behavior or syntax that is specific to
UNIX environments. Each system option description includes a brief
“UNIX specifics” section that explains which aspect
of the system option is specific to UNIX. If the information under
“UNIX specifics” is “all,” then the system
option is described only in this documentation. Otherwise, the system
option is described in this documentation and in SAS System Options: Reference.
When You Use Parentheses in a Command Line
On a
command line, if arguments are enclosed in quotation marks, then you
must use a backslash before the open parenthesis and close parenthesis
so that UNIX can interpret the arguments correctly.
