SAS_VERBOSITY

The amount of error, warning and diagnostic messages issued by the OAL is controlled by the environment variable

    SAS_VERBOSITY

which must be given an integer value in the range 0-2. 0 means ``mute'' - only messages resulting from fatal error conditions will be issued. Setting SAS_VERBOSITY to 2 will lead to detailed diagnostic messages the meaning of which will not necessarily be obvious to the normal user. Level 1 will generate a moderate amount of informative messages. Please consult the documentation of package error for further information on the general SAS error messaging system.
