Syntax

ALTPRINT=destination | NOALTPRINT

destination
can have the following values under CMS:

PRINTER
specifies that a copy of the SAS print file is to be sent to the default printer.

TERMINAL
specifies that a copy of the SAS print file is to be sent to the terminal.

file-specification
identifies the file in one of the following forms. Refer to Identifying an External File for additional details.

'filename <filetype <filemode | SFS-directory | *>>'
specifies the filename, filetype, and filemode, respectively. An SFS directory may be specified instead of a filemode. If the filetype is omitted, SAS assumes a filetype of LISTING.

fileref
specifies a logical name to be associated with an external file. This name consists of one- to eight-characters and is not enclosed in quotes. The name must have been assigned externally using a CMS FILEDEF command.


Details

Specifying NOALTPRINT is like issuing ALTPRINT=DUMMY or FILEDEF ALTPRINT DUMMY, which is less efficient than the default of none.
