Changes the values in a device
entry.
MODIFY
device-entry
parameter(s);
|
- device-entry
- specifies the one-level name of the device
entry that you want to modify. The entry must exist in the current catalog.
- parameter(s)
- are the parameters you want to modify. These
can be any of the parameters listed in the ADD statement, whether listed as
required or optional for ADD. See ADD Statement for a complete list. Refer to
Graphics Options and Device Parameters Dictionary for a description of each
parameter.
To modify a device entry,
create your own
catalog and then copy the device entries you need into it. You can then change
your personal copies of the device entries without affecting the original
drivers in SASHELP.DEVICES. (To copy device entries, use the COPY statement,
the COPY command available after you choose Import Device Entry from the DIRECTORY
window's File menu, or the CATALOG procedure, which is part of base SAS.
- CAUTION:
- Be careful when modifying device entries in program mode.
In program mode,
you cannot cancel any modifications
you have just made. To change a value you have modified, you must use another
MODIFY statement to replace the original value or reset it to its default.
(In the GDEVICE windows, you can type the CANCEL command in the command line
to cancel changes you have made to the fields.)
