The AUTOSCROLL command
controls the scrolling of lines as they are written to the
Log and
Output windows. The
default value for AUTOSCROLL in the
Log and
Output windows is
1. Processing
is slower when AUTOSCROLL displays one line at a time. To expedite
processing, you can specify a greater AUTOSCROLL value in your autoexec.sas
file. Specifying a value of 0 optimizes processing and results in
the fastest scrolling (similar to jump scrolling in xterm windows).
To add the AUTOSCROLL command to your autoexec.sas file, you must
use the DM command. The following example maximizes scrolling in both
the
Log and
Output windows:
dm 'output; autoscroll 0; log; autoscroll 0; pgm;';
