Syntax Description

DMS

invokes the SAS windowing environment and displays the Log, an Editor window, and Output windows.

NODMS

invokes an interactive line mode SAS session.


Details

When you invoke SAS and you are using a configuration file or the command line to control your system option settings, it is possible to create a situation where some system option settings conflict with other system option settings. The following invocation system options, in order, have precedence over the DMS invocation system option:

  1. OBJECTSERVER.

  2. DMR

  3. SYSIN

If you specify DMR while using another invocation option of equal precedence to invoke SAS, SAS uses the last option that is specified. See Order of Precedence for more information about invocation option precedence.
