PRINTER

specifies that a copy of the SAS print file is to be sent to the default printer.

TERMINAL

specifies that a copy of the SAS print file is to be sent to the terminal.

file-specification

identifies the file in one of the following forms. Refer to Identifying an External File for additional details.

'filename filetype <filemode | SFS-directory | *>'

Details

Specifying NOALTPRINT is like issuing ALTPRINT=DUMMY or FILEDEF ALTPRINT DUMMY, which is less efficient than the default of none.
