This example shows how to use GDEVICE procedure statements to modify a device entry by copying the original entry into a personal catalog and changing the device parameters. You can submit these statements one at a time or together.

This example permanently changes the default colors list for the PSCOLOR device entry. The contents of the original PSCOLOR entry are shown in Sample Device Entry Listing Generated in Program Mode. The new device entry is illustrated in the PROC GTESTIT output above.

libname gdevice0 'SAS-data-library';

proc gdevice nofs catalog=gdevice0.devices;

copy pscolor from=sashelp.devices newname=mypscol;

modify mypscol description='PSCOLOR with new colors list' colors=(black blue green red gray cyan lime lipk);

quit;

goptions target=mypscol; proc gtestit pic=1; run;
