Details

Use the HELPTOC option 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 under 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, and z/OS operating environments, SAS determines the complete path by replacing /help/ in the partial pathname with the pathname that is specified in the HELPLOC option. If the HELPLOC option contains more than one pathname, each path is searched 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.
