Details

GPROTOCOL= specifies whether the graphics data generated by the SAS/GRAPH device driver should be altered and how the data should be altered. Unless you are using a protocol converter on an IBM mainframe, most devices do not require that the data be altered, and ordinarily, you do not have to change the default of GPROTOCOL.

On IBM hosts, the protocol module converts the graphics output to a format that can be processed by protocol converters. On other hosts, it can be used to produce a file in ASCII hexadecimal format.

Refer to the SAS Help facility for descriptions of these protocol modules.

Operating Environment Information: GPROTOCOL is valid only in certain operating environments. [cautionend]
