Syntax

SASHELP='library' | ('library-1' ...'library-n')

'library'
specifies a physical name (enclosed in quotation marks), in the following form:

'<filetype>filemode | SFS-directory | *'

where filetype specifies the SAS help library, and filemode | SFS-directory | * is the disk on which the SASHELP library resides.

('library-1' ...'library-n')
specifies a concatenated list of help libraries. The filetype SASHELP must be specified in each library specification in the concatenation.


Details

The SASHELP library can be specified as a single library or as a concatenated list of libraries, which enables you to create your own help libraries and append them to the library provided with SAS. SAS searches for members through all libraries, following the order of the libraries in the concatenated list.

Concatenated library specifications require an explicit filetype of SASHELP. Without the filetype, SAS will not be able to locate individual members within the specified library.
