which are you asking about:
the option
or proc Explode

Explode was a mainframe utility used to write banners
iirc, it was one of the user-written procedures
that SAS decided to support
when they triaged the user-written procedures.

.... [testing happens]
ok, so the values of parmcards are written to ExtFile
the text
not the banner
