PROMPTCHARS

must be a nonnegative integer up to five
digits long (0...99999). GSFLEN= specifies the length of the records written
by the driver to a GSF or to the device.
If GSFLEN is 0, SAS/GRAPH uses
the sixth byte of the PROMPTCHARS string to determine the length of the records.
If the sixth byte of the PROMPTCHARS string is 00, the device driver sets
the record length.
If you specify GACCESS=SASGAFIX and omit GSFLEN=, SAS/GRAPH uses
the default length for the device.
Some values of the GPROTOCOL device parameter cause
each byte in the data stream to be expanded to two bytes. This expansion
is done after the length of the record is set by GSFLEN. If you are specifying
a value for GPROTOCOL that does this (for example, SASGPHEX, SASGPLCL, or
SASGPAGL), specify a value for GSFLEN that is half of the actual record length
desired. For example, a value of 64 produces a 128-byte record after expansion
by the GPROTOCOL module.
