Hello there,
Simple question that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere. How can I "reset" the OBS= global option to the default setting?
I put OBS=9223372036854775807 to assign it to the maximum length possible, but I am afraid that will create inefficient processing.
Thanks

Yes. I think you are correct. Not sure why that was so hard for me to find.
You are not alone. We all have been through it.
You can always verify the current system options by
proc options option=obs define;
run;
Or just without define to not flood the log:
proc options option=obs ;
run;
