Example: LINESTYLE Report

The following QDEVICE procedure creates a LINESTYLE report of the LJ5PS device, reporting the supported line styles because the default for SUPPORT is YES:

proc qdevice report=linestyle;
   device lj5ps;
run;

Here is the LINESTYLE report in the SAS log:

202  proc qdevice report=linestyle;
203     device lj5ps;
204  run;
