Details

The LPTYPE option determines whether the SAS System is to use the lpr or the lp UNIX command to print files.

The LPTYPE option has two forms:

-LPTYPE BSD: causes the SAS System to use the lpr command to send files to the printer. The lpr command is usually supported on UNIX operating systems developed at Berkeley.
-LPTYPE SYSV: causes the SAS System to use the lp command to send files to the printer. The lp command is usually supported on operating systems derived from UNIX System V.

If you do not know whether to specify BSD or SYSV, check with your System Administrator.

By default, the SAS System uses the lpr command if your operating system is derived from Berkeley's version; otherwise, it uses the lp command.
