Use the GDEVICE procedure
to modify the properties of an existing device entry.
See GDEVICE Procedure.
The modifications made
to a device entry are in effect for all SAS sessions.
The new values that
you specify for device parameters must be within the device's capabilities.
For example, devices are limited in the size of the output that they
can display. Some output devices cannot display color. If you try
to increase the size of the display past the device's capability or
if you specify colors for a device that cannot display them, you will
get unpredictable results. You cannot force a device to act as a device
with different capabilities by choosing a different device driver.
Note: The device driver that is
associated with a device entry is shown in the
Module field in the device entry. It is recommended that you do not change
the device driver associated with a device entry. Please contact SAS
Technical Support before changing the device driver associated with
a device entry.
Note: If you run
SAS/GRAPH software in a multi-user environment,
you should not change the device entries in the SASHELP.DEVICES catalog
unless you are the system administrator or other on-site SAS support
personnel.
If you need to change
a device entry in SASHELP.DEVICES, copy it into a personal catalog
named DEVICES, and then modify the copy. To use the new device, assign
the libref GDEVICE0 to the library that contains the modified copy.
See Creating or Modifying Device Entries for details.
