return-code-variable=GINIT();


Description

The GINIT function performs three functions: it readies the library that contains SAS/GRAPH graphics routines, it opens a workstation, and it activates it. A workstation is a Graphics Kernel Standard (GKS) concept. GKS allows for multiple workstations to be open at the same time; however, for DSGI applications, you always use exactly one workstation. This function moves the operating state from GKCL to WSAC.
