PRINTINIT | NOPRINTINIT


Details

Under OS/390, specifying PRINTINIT causes the SAS print file to become empty before SAS writes output to it. It also forces the file attributes to be correct for a print file. Specify NOPRINTINIT if a previous program or job step has already written output to the same file and you want to preserve that output.
