Subject:   Re: &sysparm Question?
Comments:   To: michael Ross <michael.ross@ASTRAZENECA.COM>

If by system you mean created outside of SAS, then no it isn't. Typically you would assign a value to the sysparm option either on the SAS command line , or in the SAS Config file. Both use the -sysparm keyword to assign the value. Its value is available to SAS automatically through the macro variable &sysparm.

I'm assuming you mean by system variable created in the OS outside of SAS, and that isn't the case. It is created by SAS at startup according to values passed as above.
