Hi SAS-L,
 
Regarding Solaris SAS Segmentation Violations Using Xprinter:
 
XPRINTER TIP:
 
We found that if a custom GDEVICE0.DEVICES catalog had been allocated in
 
the SAS session,
then a SAS/GRAPH driver called AGS1000 must be copied there from
SASHELP.DEVICES.
I hope this fixes the problem as it did ours (if so it's definitely an
undocumented feature). 
 
 
oOo
 
I needed to create a selection list in SAS/AF that allowed pre-selection
 
of Xprinter destinations for a batch job using Xprinter drivers.  Maybe
someone else will find the code useful too (thanks SAS Institute):
 
%macro xprtlist(outdsn=WORK.PRTLIST);
FILENAME drucker CATALOG 'sasuser.profile.prtinfo.xprinter';
DATA &outdsn;
   INFILE drucker TRUNCOVER;
   INPUT printer $100. @;
   DO WHILE(printer NE ' ');
      IF _n_ GT 1;
      OUTPUT;
      INPUT +540 printer $100. @;
      printer = trim(printer);
   END;
RUN;
FILENAME drucker ;
%mend xprtlist;
%xprtlist();

(I don't have Tivoli or abend problems under Solaris 2.51 with SAS 6.12
either.)

      Hello SAS-L,
      
 
      I don't think that we use Tivoli but I have been getting a
      Segmentation
      Violation almost everytime I try to print a graph using host
      printing,
      i.e.,
      it only worked one time.  After the Segmentation Violation I may
      get a
      Bus
      Error and then Display Manager may close down.  This has occured
      on two
      systems, both of which are running Solaris 2.5.3 but I have
      learned that
      there are no problems on an HP system running 6.12.
      
 
      I have followed TS543, "SAS Host Printing Interface Using XPrinter
 
      drivers",
      in setting things up and the text printing seems to be working OK.
 
      
 
      Has anyone else encountered problems printing graphs from the
      graph
      window
      using host printing?  What were the problems and do you have a
      solution?
      
 
      Are there other circumstances that cause Segmentation Violations
      with
      6.12 on Solaris 2.5?  Please share any knowlege of this so we can
      scope
      out
      the problem.
      
 
      What has SI had to say on this Don?  I'm still waiting for a call
      back
      from Tech Support.
