SAS Companion for UNIX Environments |
LOG and PRINT are normally used in batch and interactive line modes. These system options have no effect in the windowing environment. If you are running in the windowing environment, use the ALTLOG and ALTPRINT system options.
You can specify the options in the SAS command, a configuration file, and the SASV7_OPTIONS environment variable. For example, you could specify these options in the SAS command as follows:
sas -log '/u/myid/log' -print '/u/myid/prt' sas -altlog '/u/myid/log' -altprint '/u/myid/prt'See Specifying System Options for more information.
Creating Postscript Output |
You can use the
pstext
UNIX command, the PRINTCMD
and SYSPRINT system options, and the PRINT command to create PostScript output.
The PRINTCMD option sets the UNIX print command that SAS will use, and the
SYSPRINT option specifies a destination.
You can use the
pstext
command as your print command and redirect or pipe the output
of that command. For example, the following options send your output through
the
pstext
command and
then redirect the output of that command to the file named
/tmp/file.ps
:
options printcmd='pstext'; options sysprint='>/tmp/file.ps';When you issue the PRINT command, SAS creates the file
/tmp/file.ps
.
The following options send your output through the
pstext
command and then pipe
the output of that command to the
lp
command:
options printcmd='pstext'; options sysprint='| lp -dmylaserjet';When you issue the PRINT command from within SAS, postscript output is sent to the
mylaserjet
printer.
