Other system options that may be helpful:

BYSORTED        Specifies whether observations in one or more datasets 
                are sorted in alphabetic or numeric order or are grouped
                in another logical order (to not have this feature
                enter NoBySorted

Replace         Overwrite existing SAS data sets, either temporary or
                permanent (default value)

NOreplace       Do not over-write existing SAS datasets, either
                temporary or permanent

fmterr          Treat missing formats or informats as errors (default)

NOfmterr        Do not stop data processing if the necessary formats
                are not found.

fullstimer      Records how long a specific SAS job took to execute.
                This option logs execution time as well as other
                statistics for each step/proc within your sas program,
                and at the end will record statistics for whole job
                as well.

DKROCOND=NoWARNING
                Action for DROP/KEEP/RENAME error conditions on output
                SAS datasets

NOspool       Do not to write the log, source, etc. in a utility data
              set in the work library.  This often is source of
              shortage of space on work with long sequences of commands

yearcutoff=   Year cutoff value (default is 1910 -- see sas_y2k.txt)
