PRINT=

Language element:	system option
Default:	SYS$OUTPUT for interactive line mode; program-name.LIS for noninteractive and batch modes; OUTPUT for the SAS windowing environment
Valid in:	configuration file, SAS invocation, VMS_SAS_OPTIONS DCL symbol
OpenVMS specifics:	All aspects are host-specific

PRINT=destination

specifies to print either to an external file or to a device. The value of destination can be SYS$PRINT (the default print queue); your current display, SYS$OUTPUT (the default output stream); or an OpenVMS pathname.

NOPRINT

specifies to print to SYS$OUTPUT.

Details

The PRINT= system option specifies the destination to which SAS output is written when executing SAS programs in modes other than the interactive windowing environment.

To send the procedure output to a printer queue other than the default printer, redefine the SYS$PRINT logical name to the queue that you want to use.

The PRINT= system option is valid in interactive line mode, noninteractive mode, and batch mode; it is ignored in the SAS windowing environment.
