I hope this isn't overkill but
 
I'd like to throw in a little discovery I made which may be similar to
the experiences of others.
 
TITLE can be supplied as a configuration option  -TITLE.
 
In Batch MOde, the there is also a banner on the LOG.
Although this looks like the default title       The SAS System
in fact it cannot be changed by TITLE statements. Like the -AWSTITLE
there is a separate control.
Although PROC OPTIONS only reports this information among my
*undocumented options* as below in snip from the log (W32s 6.12)
$LOGNOTE1=The SAS System
                   SAS header message
 
On Sun Solaris 6.11 and Win32s SAS6.12 it had to be supplied as if it
were documented - without the $      like
-lognote1 'SAS Share Server for Development Group'
 
 
It doesn't affect OUTPUT only the LOG
 
There is also $LOGNOTE2. It defines what appears at the end of the
log as SAS closes. There is an interesting feature on the default
below (again clipped from my proc options log)
 
$LOGNOTE2=%3zSAS Institute Inc., SAS Campus Drive, Cary, NC USA
27513-2414
                   SAS trailer message
 
That %3z looks like formatting options.
 
If you only want to affect output, use the TITLE statements, as Victor
defined.
