When you invoke some X clients, such as the SAS System,
you can use command line options that are passed to the X Window System. The
following list describes the X command line options that are available when
you invoke a SAS session from the command prompt. In general, you should specify
X Window System options after SAS options on the command line.
-
-display
host:server.screen
-
specifies the name or IP address of the
terminal on which you want to display the SAS session. For example, if your
display node is wizard, you might enter
-display wizard:0.0
or
-display 10.22.1.1:0
-
-name instance-name
-
reads the resources in your SAS resource
file that begin with instance-name. For example,
-name MYSAS reads the resources
that begin with
MYSAS,
such as
MYSAS.dmsfont: Cour14
MYSAS.defaultToolbox: True
-
-title string
-
specifies the title up to six characters
long for your SAS session window. To use multiple words in the title, enclose
the words in single or double quotes. For example,
-title MYSAS produces
MYSAS:Explorer in
the title bar of the Explorer window.
-
-xrm string
-
specifies a resource to override any defaults.
For example, the following resource turns off the Confirm dialog box when
you exit SAS:
-xrm 'SAS.confirmSASExit: False'
The SAS System does not support the following X
command line
options because their functionality is not applicable to the SAS System or
is provided by SAS resources. Refer to Using X Resources to Customize the Motif Interface for more information on SAS resources.
