MULTENVAPPL | NOMULTENVAPPL


Syntax Description

MULTENVAPPL

specifies that an application font selector window list only the SAS fonts.

NOMULTENVAPPL

specifies that an application font selector window list only the operating environment fonts.


Details

The MULTENVAPPL system option enables applications that support a font selection window, such as SAS/AF, SAS/FSP, SAS/EIS, or SAS/GIS, to choose a SAS font that is supported in all operating environments. Choosing a SAS font ensures portability of applications across all operating environments.

When NOMULTENVAPPL is in effect, the application font selector window has available only the fonts that are specific to your operating environment. SAS might need to resize operating environment fonts, which could result in text that is difficult to read. If the application is ported to another environment and the font is not available, a font is selected by the operating environment.
