/**
@file
@brief Initialise session with useful settings and variables
@details Implements a "strict" set of SAS options for use in defensive
programming. Highly recommended, if you want your code to run on some
other machine.
This macro is recommended to be compiled and invoked in the `initProgram`
for SASjs [Jobs](https://cli.sasjs.io/sasjsconfig.html#jobConfig_initProgram
), [Services](
https://cli.sasjs.io/sasjsconfig.html#serviceConfig_initProgram) and [Tests]
(https://cli.sasjs.io/sasjsconfig.html#testConfig_initProgram).
For non SASjs projects, you could invoke in the autoexec, or in your own
solution initialisation macro.
If you have a good idea for another useful option, setting, or global
variable - feel free to [raise an issue](
https://github.com/sasjs/core/issues/new)!
All global variables are prefixed with "SASJS" (unless modified with the
prefix parameter).
@param [in] prefix= (SASJS) The prefix to apply to the global macro variables
@version 9.2
