CHARTYPE=cell-size | screen-size

cell-size

specifies the character set number for an IBM 3290 terminal. Values are 1 for a 6 x 12 cell and 2 for a 9 x 16 cell.

screen-size

specifies the screen size for other Extended-Data-Stream (EDS) terminals. Values are 1 for a primary screen size and 2 for an alternate screen size.


Details

For an IBM 3290 terminal, the CHARTYPE= option specifies which character cell size to use. For other EDS terminals, it specifies which screen size to use. This option corresponds to the CHARTYPE option in SAS/GRAPH.

The default value, 0, indicates that the CHARTYPE= option is not applicable to the terminal you are using.
