Details

For an IBM 3290 terminal, the CHARTYPE= option specifies which character cell size to use. For other Extended-Data-Stream (EDS) terminals, it specifies which screen size to use. This option corresponds to the CHARTYPE option in SAS/GRAPH software.

A value of 0 indicates that the CHARTYPE= option is not applicable to the terminal you are using.
