How can I disable automatic options statements in SAS University Edition? - sas

Question

Whenever I submit code in SAS University Edition, statements like this are inserted automatically and show up in the log:
OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;
What causes this, and is there a way to disable it? I'm not even sure whether these statements are doing anything, as all the associated content is still displayed in the log.
After following Dwal's suggestion below, here is all of the additional generated code:
1 OPTIONS NOSYNTAXCHECK;
2 TITLE;
3 FOOTNOTE;
4 OPTIONS LOCALE=en_US DFLANG=LOCALE;
5 DATA _NULL_;
6 VALUE=GETOPTION("VALIDVARNAME");
7 CALL SYMPUT("_WEBVVN", VALUE);

Answer 1

There's several places that options can be set in SAS - the below list are in order of precedence (ie #1 supercedes #2 etc):
Restricted options table, if it exists (if you're on a university sever these may have been set)
OPTIONS statement (or SAS System Options window)
Autoexec file (that contains an OPTIONS statement)
Command-line specification
Configuration file specification
SAS system default settings.
You can check the actual values of these options by sumbitting the following which will output a list of all the system options and their current values:
proc options define ;
run ;
From what you're saying, it sounds like the log is still outputing notes/source lines yes? If your seeing OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK; in your log then it's just a guess but it could be that the statement is coming from an autoexec file (#3) which is then being superceded by unitversity restricted options (#1).
You can check this from the output of the proc options statement above by looking for the value of the AUTOEXEC option as this will specify the path to the autoexec file being submitted (if there is one).
