HELPTOC=TOC-pathname-1 < TOC-pathname-2 < TOC-pathname-3>>

TOC-pathname

specifies a partial pathname for the table of contents that is to be used by the online SAS Help and Documentation. TOC-pathname can be any or all of the following:

/help/applet-TOC-filename

specifies the partial pathname of the table of contents file that is to be used by the SAS Documentation Java applet in a UNIX environment. The applet-TOC-filename must have a file extension of .txt and it must reside in a path that is specified by the HELPLOC= system option. The default is /help/helpnav.hlp/navigation.xml.

See the default table of contents file for the format that is required for an index file.

/help/accessible-TOC-filename

specifies the partial pathname of an accessible table of contents file that is to be used by the online SAS Help and Documentation in UNIX, OpenVMS, or z/OS environments. An accessible table of contents file is an HTML file that can be used by Web browsers. The accessible-TOC-filename has a file extension of .htm and it must reside in a path that is specified by the HELPLOC= system option. The default pathname is /help/common.hlp/toc.htm.

See the default table of contents file for the format that is required for a table of contents.

HTML-Help-TOC-pathname

specifies the complete pathname to the Microsoft HTML Help table of contents that is to be used by the online SAS Help and Documentation in Windows environments. The default pathname is common.hhc. For information about creating an index for Microsoft HTML Help, see your Microsoft HTML Help documentation.

Details

Use the HELPTOC if you have a customized table of contents that you want to use instead of the table of contents that SAS supplies. If you use one configuration file to start SAS in more than one operating environment, you can specify all of the partial pathnames in the HELPTOC= option. The order of the pathnames is not important, although only one pathname of each type can be specified.

When the HELPTOC= option specifies the pathname for UNIX, OpenVMS, or z/OS operating environments, SAS determines the complete path by replacing /help/ in the partial pathname with the pathname specified in the HELPLOC= option. If the HELPLOC= option contains more than one pathname, SAS searches each path for the table of contents.

For example, when HELPTOC= is /help/common.hlp/mytoc.htm and the value of HELPLOC= is /u/myhome/myhelp, the complete path to the table of contents is /u/myhome/myhelp/common.hlp/mytoc.htm.
