SAS Display Manager commands

The SAS display manager is a comamnd line interface to the SAS system, which remains in Base SAS as a legacy facility.

However the online documentation on how to use this facility is sparse at best, and google searches are less than fruitful.

A common DM command would be: CLEAR LOG; CLEAR OUTPUT; WPGM;

My question is - What other DM commands are out there?

Solution

  • Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like SAS has its commands listed in a single place online. All commands are documented within SAS, however.
