ALTLOG=destination

NOALTLOG

ALTLOG=destination: can be SYS$PRINT (the default print queue); your current display, SYS$OUTPUT (the default output stream); or an OpenVMS pathname. All messages written to the SAS log are also written to the destination.
NOALTLOG: specifies that the SAS log is not to be printed.

Details

The ALTLOG= system option specifies a destination to which a copy of the SAS log is written. Use the ALTLOG= system option to capture log output for printing.

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

Note: ALTLOG= replaces the following options from earlier releases of the SAS System: LDISK, LPRINT, and LTYPE. [cautionend]
