The following example specifies an output destination that is different from the default:

filename out 'whatever';

Operating Environment Information:   In some operating environments, such as the PC, the SYSPRINT option enables operating-environment printing and disables SAS printing by setting the PRINTERPATH option to a null string. Also, in some operating environments, setting the PRINTERPATH option might not change the setting of the PMENU print button, which might continue to use operating environment printing. See the SAS documentation for your operating environment for more information.

For additional information on declaring an ODS printer destination, see ODS Statements in The Complete Guide to the SAS Output Delivery System
