TOPMARGIN= margin-size<margin-unit>

Syntax Description

margin-size

specifies the size of the margin.

Restriction:	The bottom margin should be small enough so that the top margin plus the bottom margin is less than the height of the paper.
Interactions:	Changing the value of this option might result in changes to the value of the PAGESIZE= system option.

<margin-unit>

specifies the units for margin-size. The margin-unit can be in for inches or cm for centimeters. <margin-unit> is saved as part of the value of the TOPMARGIN system option.

Default:

inches

Details

All margins have a minimum that is dependent on the printer and the paper size. The default value of the TOPMARGIN system option is 0.00 in.

Operating Environment Information: Most SAS system options are initialized with default settings when SAS is invoked. However, the default settings and option values for some SAS system options might vary both by operating environment and by site. For details, see the SAS documentation for your operating environment. [cautionend]
