Under Windows, the default
value for the AUTOSCROLL command in the
OUTPUT window is 0 (meaning that no output is written to that window while
statements are executing, which provides the best performance). The
default value for the
LOG window is half
the number of lines of the
LOG window when
SAS is started.
Scrolling can increase
the length of time that SAS takes to run your program. The less scrolling
that the LOG and OUTPUT windows have to do, the faster that your program
will run.
You can also set scrolling
options in the
Preferences dialog box
Advanced page.
