-
file-type
-
a string up to eight characters long that
is a file extension, such as GIF or CGM, that you want to append to an external
file.
The extension specified on EXTENSION=
is used when the output destination is a storage location. The extension
is ignored when the output destination is a file. To specify the output destination,
you can use a FILENAME statement, or the graphics options GACCESS= or GSFNAME=.
Assuming that the output destination is a storage location,
-
if EXTENSION='.', no extension is added to the
filename
-
if EXTENSION=' ' or EXTENSION= is not used, the
driver's default extension is added to the filename
-
if the driver has no default extension, SAS/GRAPH uses
the default extension .GSF.
