SAS System Options under Windows |
Used when SAS starts, inserts the specified value at the beginning
of the specified system option.
Default: |

Valid in: |
configuration file, SAS invocation

Windows specifics: |
all

-INSERT system-option argument
|
- system-option
-
can be FMTSEARCH, HELPLOC, MAPS, MSG, SAMPLOC, SET, SASSCRIPT,
SASAUTOS, or SASHELP.
- argument
-
specifies a new pathname or an environment setting that
you want to insert at the front of the current value of system-option. The following example shows that a library is being inserted
before the FMTSEARCH option:
-set APFMTLIB "SASEnvironment/SASFormats"
-insert fmtsearch APFMTLI
By default, if you specify the FMTSEARCH, HELPLOC, MAPS,
MSG, SAMPLOC, SET, SASSCRIPT, SASAUTOS, or SASHELP system option more than
one time, the last specification is the one that SAS uses. If you want to
insert additional pathnames in front of the search paths that have already
been specified by one of these options, you must use the INSERT system option
to add the new pathname. For example, if you entered the following SAS command,
the only location that SAS will look for help files is c:\app2\help, and the output of PROC OPTIONS will only show c:\app2\help:
sas -helploc "c:\app2\help"
If you want SAS to look in both the current path for help files and
in c:\app2\help and if you want SAS to search c:\app2\help first, then you must use the INSERT option:
sas -insert helploc "c:\app2\help"
If your
current path for help files is !sasroot\nls\en\help,
then for the value of the HELPLOC option, PROC OPTIONS will now show
("c:\app2\help" "!sasroot\nls\en\help")
