Note: SASLOG and SASLIST are the default DDnames of the SAS log and
procedure output files. If these DDnames have been changed in your site’s SAS
cataloged procedure, then use your site’s DDnames in place of SASLOG and SASLIST. R
CAUTION:
The SAS cataloged procedure specifies default DCB characteristics unless you specify them
in the SASLOG or SASLIST DD statement. If you are directing the SAS log to a member
of a partitioned data set whose DCB characteristics are different from those given in
“SAS Log File” on page 19, you must include the existing DCB characteristics in the
SASLOG DD statement. Similarly, if you are directing the SAS procedure output to a
member of a partitioned data set whose DCB characteristics are different from those
given in “SAS Procedure Output File” on page 20, you must include the existing DCB
characteristics in the SASLIST DD statement. Otherwise, the existing DCB
characteristics of the partitioned data set will be changed to the characteristics that
are specified for SASLOG or SASLIST in the SAS cataloged procedure, making the
other members of the partitioned data set unreadable. R
Directing Output to a Printer
Beginning in Release 8.2, SAS supports two printing destinations for directing
procedure output on z/OS: Universal Printing and Xprinter (line) printing. A Universal
printer is an e-mail message, network printer, or file that exists on a local area network
(LAN). Universal Printing is the default printing destination. Xprinter translates to a
printer device on an SNA network. The FORM subsystem is one way to direct output
that is destined for a line printer.
The printing destination and default printer at a site are typically determined by data
center personnel. This section contains instructions for directing procedure output using
either of the printing destinations. You can direct SAS output to a printer as follows:
3 by using the PRINTTO procedure combined with Universal Printing
3 by using the PRINT command or menu selection combined with Universal Printing
3 by using the PRINT command or menu selection combined with the FORM
subsystem
3 by using the PRTFILE command and the PRINT command or menu selection
combined with the FORM subsystem.
Universal Printing and the FORM subsystem are portable and are therefore
documented in the Base SAS section of the SAS Help and in the SAS Language
Reference: Dictionary. To help customer sites get started with Universal Printing, some
common z/OS printer definitions, sample printer setup programs, and sample print
commands are also provided in Chapter 7, “Universal Printing,” on page 147.
