Syntax

-XSYNC | -NOXSYNC

XSYNC | NOXSYNC

XSYNC: specifies that the process you submit should execute synchronously. That is, control is not returned to the SAS System until the command has completed. You cannot return to your SAS session until the process spawned by the X command or statement is closed. This is the default.
NOXSYNC: specifies that the process should execute asynchronously. That is, control is returned immediately to the SAS System and the command continues executing without interfering with your SAS session. With NOXSYNC in effect, you can execute an X command or statement and return to your SAS session without closing the process spawned by the X command or statement.
