Syntax

-JREOPTIONS (-JRE-option-1<-JRE-option-n>)

Required Argument

-JRE-option
specifies one or more JRE options.
JRE options must begin with a hyphen (-). Use a space to separate multiple JRE options. Valid values for JRE-option depend on your installation's JRE. For information about JRE options, see your installation's Java documentation.

Details

JRE options must be enclosed in parentheses. If you issue JREOPTIONS options on the command line, then you must put a backslash (\) before the open parenthesis and close parenthesis, as shown in the examples below. If you specify multiple JREOPTIONS options, then SAS appends JRE options to JRE options that are currently defined. Incorrect JRE options are ignored.

Example: Using JRE Options

-jreoptions \(-verbose\)
-jreoptions \(-Djava.class.path=myjava/classes/myclasses.jar:myjava2/
             classes/myclasses.jar -oss600k\)
