-
CLEANUP
-
specifies that during the entire session,
SAS attempts to perform automatic, continuous clean-up of resources that are
not essential for execution. Nonessential resources include those resources
that are not visible to the user (for example, cache memory) and are visible
to the user (for example, the KEYS windows).
CLEANUP does not prompt you for any out-of-resource
condition except for out-of- disk-space conditions. If you do not want to
be prompted for out-of-disk-space conditions, use the CLEANUP option in conjunction
with the NOTERMINAL option.
-
NOCLEANUP
-
specifies that SAS allow the user to choose
how to handle an out-of-resource condition. When NOCLEANUP is in effect and
SAS cannot execute because of a lack of resources, SAS automatically attempts
to clean up resources that are not visible to the user (for example, cache
memory). However, resources that are visible to the user (for example, the
KEYS windows) are not automatically cleaned up. Instead, SAS prompts you before
attempting to regain resources.
The CLEANUP system option indicates whether
you are prompted with a menu of items to clean up when SAS encounters an out-of-resource
condition.
If you specify NOCLEANUP and are prompted for input,
you can select Continuous on every menu except
the out-of-disk-space menu. If you choose Continuous,
the CLEANUP option is turned on and you are not prompted again in out-of-resource
conditions, unless SAS runs out of disk space.
