i want notes of statements and options in sas and their difference with example
Here is a list of statements in SAS: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000293668.htm
Each statement, in turn, might have options as might any procedures (proc).
To confuse matters, though, there is also an options statement.

.Please ask a question. The more specific the better. Stating a desire rarely fulfills that desire.

Statements can have options.
There's an Options statement.
Your question is ambiguous.

You know if work as statement but not as option where work both statement
and options
I don't know what that means.
where as option
data new(where=(age=11));
set sashelp.class;
run;
if is not a option here not work this code
data new1(if age=11);
set sashelp.class;
run;
Here's a 'better' example:
WHERE as a data set option.
data new(where=(age=11));
set sashelp.class;
run;
WHERE as a statement.
data new;
set sashelp.class;
where age=11;
run;
SAS has literally tons (if you would print it) of documentation. See here: http://documentation.sas.com

Options allow you to chose one or more behaviors. However where and what option you want to control is the key. There are SAS System options, some of which are only valid at program start (invocation) and controlled by configuration information others available by using an Options statement. There are also other specific sub-environment options such as for device based graphics using GOPTIONS statement or statistical graphics using the ODS GRAPHICS statement.
As mentioned in other posts here almost every SAS Procedure has one or more options, usually as a minimum the data to use.
Statements are basically any instruction a single code element that ends with a semicolon. Which could be a PROC statement such as
Proc Print data=thisdataset;
which establishes the procedure to run (Print) and an OPTION of the data set to print.
A statement may also be a specific instruction to a procedure such as listing the variables to print, the formats to display those variables and so forth.
Look at the documentation for almost any prodecure. The SYNTAX section will display the STATEMENTS available to the procedure.
But this question is too broad to provide examples of every one. the basic printed documentation of the Base (or foundation) SAS , SAT/STAT and SAS/Graph modules alone is well over 1000 pages.
