SAS Linesize Option

The linesize option is used in either the infile statement or in the options statement. A synonym is ls.

Used in the infile statement, the linesize option sets the length of the line read from a data file. Default is 80. Example:


infile 'ozone.dat' missover linesize=100;


Used in the options statement, the linesize option sets the width of lines written to the output window. Example:


options ls=60;
