The options statement is used to change the default values of SAS system parameters. The options statement should NOT appear inside a data step or a proc step. Example:
options
pagesize=60
linesize=80
pageno=1
nodate
nocenter;
The nodate option suppresses printing of the date and time
information on each page of the output; the date option restores
the default behavior.
The nocenter option produces left justified output; the center
option restores the default centering of output.
The options statement usually appears in the autoexec.sas file, but can be typed in the program editor window.
