Default:	none
Valid in:	configuration file, SAS invocation, VMS_SAS_OPTIONS DCL symbol

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 the SAS procedure output file is not to be printed.

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.
