Each entry in the registry file consists of a key name, followed on the next line by one or more values. The key name identifies the key or subkey that you are defining. Any values that follow specify the names or data to associate with the key. For more information on the SAS Registry and the Registry Editor, see the SAS online Help. To specify a subkey, enter multiple key names between the brackets, starting with the root key.
Key names can contain any character except the backslash.
Examples of valid key name sequences follow. You can specify multiple values for each key, but each value must be on a separate line. See Example of a Registry Entry . To include a double quotation mark, use two adjacent double quotation marks. If you extend the hexadecimal characters beyond a single line, end the line with a backslash to indicate that the data continues on the next line.
