The names of the options are source and source2;

The Boolean values which are their negation are: nosource and nosource2;

Default values:
Source: source

Source2: nosource2

What this means:
statements in your primary==top-level program are echoed to the log;
statements in called (sub-)routines are not echoed unless requested:

options source2;*reset to true;

The option source2 can also be applied selectively:

%Include Project(MyProgramA)\source2;

%Include Project(SubRoutinB)\nosource2;

Rune,

I couldn't find which is the default in the documentation either, but
the current settings definitely appear as a result of running "proc
options;run;" (on my system at least).  And, since I've never changed
them, source and nosource2 appear to be the likely default settings.
