ALTPRINT=destination

specifies a destination for the SAS procedure output file. 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. All output written to the SAS log is also written to the destination.

NOALTPRINT

specifies that a copy of the SAS procedure output file is not produced.

Details

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

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.

Note:   The ALTPRINT= system option replaces the following options from earlier releases of the SAS System: PDISK, PPRINT, and PTYPE.
