The config.sas file is read by SAS at startup. and sets default configuration options for the SAS program. Other options are set in the autoexec.sas file which is also read at program invocation.
Users should set their personal values for the options in files, say myauto.sas and myconfig.sas, and then invoke SAS with a command line such as
sas autoexec=myauto.sas config=myconfig.sas
The exact form for the invocation is system/setup dependent.
For further information consult the SAS Programming Companion for the environment in which you run SAS, e.g., Microsoft Windows, UNIX, etc.
