FULLSTIMER
-
specifies that the SAS System write to the SAS log a complete list of computer resources that were used for each step and for the entire SAS
session.
-
NOFULLSTIMER
-
specifies that the SAS System not write a complete list of computer resources to the SAS log. This is the
default.
The FULLSTIMER system option specifies whether all the performance statistics of your computer system that are available to the
SAS System are written to the SAS log. For Windows 95, only real time data is available. For Windows NT, real time and CPU time data is available.
This system option also
gives you time-elapsed statistics, provided that you have not turned off the STIMER option. If you turn off the STIMER option, the FULLSTIMER option does not generate time
statistics.
If you do not need statistics on such tasks as the SAS windowing environment (statistics for the windowing environment are available only when the SAS System
terminates), you should turn off the FULLSTIMER system option before you end your SAS session. If you do not turn this system option off, you see several dialog boxes displaying the statistics for SAS
termination. If you have had a long or complex SAS session, there may be quite a few of these boxes.
Some statistics are not accurate unless the FULLSTIMER system option is
specified at startup time.
