Syntax

SYSPRINT="print-queue-name"<"destination">

"print-queue-name": specifies the name of the printer as it is installed under OpenVMS. The value for printer-name must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
"destination": optionally specifies a filename to write the print file to disk. If specified, then all printer output that is generated by the SAS System is routed to this file. Even though the output is not sent directly to a printer, it is still formatted using the printer driver associated with printer-name. The value for destination must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

Details

The SYSPRINT system option specifies the destination of a printer where you want to print your SAS output.

If you do not specify the SYSPRINT system option, the printer-name and destination arguments use the default system printer values.
