Syntax Description

n

specifies the level of compression. The larger the number, the greater the compression. For example, n=0 is the minimum compression level (completely uncompressed), and n=9 is the maximum compression level.

Default: 6
Range: 0-9
MIN

specifies the minimum compression level of 0.

MAX

specifies the maximum compression level of 9.


Details

The DEFLATION= system option controls the level of compression for device drivers that support Deflate compression. The PRINTERPATH= system option must be set to one of the following SAS device drivers that support Deflate compression: the PDF device driver or the SVG Universal Printer drivers.

The ODS PRINTER statement option, COMPRESS=, takes precedence over the DEFLATION system option.
