In general, SAS statment may take many options. Can we list all default values of these options (not system options)?

For example:
libname test "path";

By default, the engine is V9, encoding is from SAS session, compress is no, etc.

Any thoughts?

Hi:
I find the documentation and the SAS Companion for my operating system to be the best resources:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/hostwin/61924/HTML/default/chloptfmain.htm
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/62618/HTML/default/a000202890.htm (assuming you mean COMPRESS system option and not COMPRESS data set option)
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/hostwin/61924/HTML/default/sysopts.htm
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/nlsref/61893/HTML/default/encoding-ov.htm

... and then I look in my .CFG or AUTOEXEC files to see how SAS defaults may have been changed by my system administrators.
