Poul:

The code below should steer you in the right direction - run proc options
interactively when you've selected the correct printer to get 'your printer
name' from 'sysprint='

goptions dev=winprtc rotate=landscape;

options sysprint='your printer name'   'f:\qsrptsys\reports\weekly\yld_tube'
;

proc greplay nofs;
igout=gseg;  **YLD_TUBE.PDF;

replay y25 y251 y252 y253 y254 y255;

Subject: Using the correct printer in batch jobs


Hi there,

I have been grabbling with this problem a number of times:

I need to have a batch program print some very large and complicated graphs
exactly the same way that they are printed from the Graph-window in an
on-lne session on SAS 8.2 under Win98.

I am using the WINPRTC printer driver and I choose a printer from the
selection menu with all the printers availbale i WIN98.

In the batch program I want to use that same (A3-size) printer and I want
the batch program to print automatically to it, without having to save the
graph to a file and copying it to the printer, as I have been doing before.

How do I accomplish that?

Many regards

Poul Ravn Sørensen
