Those people still using SAS 5.18 will be glad to know that the
option is available in that version also. You specify it on the
MODEL statement:
MODEL A=B / ACOV;

Yes, but remember that White's procedure controls for an
unspecified form of heteroscedasticity. If you think you know the
form of heteroscedasticity, something like weighted least squares
may be more appropriate.
