It was my understanding that with SAS system options (such as ORIENTATION or PAGESIZE), that you could change the option during your SAS session, but that when you restarted, that SAS would return to a default setting. For some reason, though, the system options in place when I start up a new SAS session are the same as what they were at when I ended my previous session. For instance, if I set orientation to LANDSCAPE, then the next time I start SAS, the option in effect is LANDSCAPE.
I haven't tried saving any options settings in a configuration file or an autoexec file or anything like that, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Is there some command or programming statement I can use to restore whatever the SAS factory defaults are for all system options? Is there any way I can get this whole problem to stop happening outside of asking IT to totally reinstall SAS?
