ALTPRINT

Default:	NOALTPRINT
Valid in:	configuration file, SAS invocation
OS/2 specifics:	destination must resolve to a valid OS/2 path or filename

ALTPRINT destination

specifies the destination for a copy of the SAS procedure output file. The destination argument can be a valid OS/2 pathname or filename (including device names) or an environment variable associated with a pathname. If you specify only a pathname, the copy is placed in a file in the specified directory, with a name of filename.LST, where filename is the name of your SAS job. If you are running SAS interactively and specify only a pathname, the filename is SAS.

NOALTPRINT

does not create a copy of the SAS procedure output file.

Details

The ALTPRINT system option specifies a destination to which a copy of the SAS procedure output file is written. Use the ALTPRINT system option to capture procedure output for printing.

To send the procedure output to a printer queue other than the default printer, use a valid OS/2 printer name for the destination value.

Note:   ALTPRINT replaces the following system options form earlier versions of the SAS System: PDISK, PPRINT, and PTYPE.
