ALTPRINT destination
specifies the destination for a copy of the SAS procedure output file. The destination argument can be a valid Windows 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 other than the default printer, use a valid Windows printer name for the destination value.

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