QDEVICE Procedure
PROC QDEVICE Statement
Specifies an (optional) output data set, which report
to generate, which locations to search, whether to report supported,
non-supported, or all features, and sizing units for GENERAL reports.
Syntax
Summary of Optional Arguments
specifies which libraries to search when querying
a device.
specifies an output SAS data set for the report.
specifies which portion of the SAS registry to search
when querying a universal printer.
specifies the type of report that you want to generate.
specifies whether to report only supported features,
only unsupported features, or all features.
specifies whether the values for the certain variables
are reported in inches, centimeters, pixels-per-inch, or pixels-per-centimeter
in the GENERAL report.
Optional Arguments
- DEVLOC = GDEVICE0...GDEVICE9 | SASHELP
- specifies which libraries to search when querying
a device. If you do not specify
the DEVLOC= option, libraries are searched in the following order:
-
GDEVICE0 to GDEVICE9
-
SASHELP
-
- REGISTRY = SASHELP | SASUSER
- specifies which portion of the SAS registry to search
when querying a universal printer. If you do not specify
the REGISTRY= option, both SASUSER and SASHELP are searched.Alias:REG
- REPORT = DEVOPTION | FONT | GENERAL | LINESTYLE | RECTANGLE | SYMBOL
- specifies the type of report that you want to generate. You can request only
one type of report. See Variables Valid for All Reports for the descriptions of the variables that are included
in each report.
- DEVOPTION
-
produces a report of the hardware device options supported by the specified device.Restriction:This report is unavailable for universal printers.
- FONT
-
produces a report of all system and device-resident fonts supported by the specified device or printer.See:See SAS/GRAPH, System, and Device-Resident Fonts in SAS/GRAPH: Reference for a description of font categories.
- GENERAL
-
produces a report of general information about the specified device or printer. This report includes information such as destination, margin sizes, default font information, resolution, color information, and size by pixels. This is the default report.
- LINESTYLE
-
produces a report of the hardware line styles supported by the specified device.Restriction:This report is unavailable for universal printers.
- RECTANGLE
-
produces a report of the hardware fill types supported by the specified device.Restriction:This report is unavailable for universal printers.
- SYMBOL
-
produces a report of the hardware symbols supported by the specified device.Restriction:This report is unavailable for universal printers.
Default:GENERALSee:See Variables Valid for All Reports for the descriptions of the variables that are included in each report.
- SUPPORT= YES | NO | ALL
- specifies whether to report only supported features,
only unsupported features, or all features.
YES reports only hardware features and options that are supported. NO reports only the hardware features and options that are not supported. ALL reports both supported and unsupported hardware features and options. Default:YESRestriction:This option only applies to devices when producing a DEVOPTION, LINESTYLE, RECTANGLE, or SYMBOL report.
- UNITS = IN | CM
- specifies whether the
values for the HEIGHT, WIDTH, LEFT, LMIN, RIGHT, RMIN, BOTTOM, BMIN,
TOP, TMIN, HRES, and VRES variables are reported in inches or centimeters.
HRES and VRES values are reported as pixels-per-inch or pixels-per-centimeter.Default:INRestriction:This option only applies when producing a GENERAL report.
