SAS® provides myriad opportunities for customizing programs and processes, including a wide variety of system options
that can control and enhance SAS code from start to finish. This paper and presentation demonstrates methods of
obtaining information on SAS system options, and moves on to fully explicate ten SAS system option hacks, from
COMPRESS to XWAIT. System options are highly dependent on platforms, security concerns, SAS versions and
products: dependencies and defaults will be discussed. SAS practitioners will gain a deeper understanding of the
powerful SAS system options they've seen, used, and automatically included in their code. This presentation is suitable
for all skill and experience levels; platform differences are part of the discussion. |
