PRINTINIT System Option in
SAS Language Reference: Dictionary
|
- PRINTINIT
-
empties the SAS output file and resets the file attributes
upon initialization.
- NOPRINTINIT
-
preserves the existing output file if no new output is generated.
NOPRINTINIT is the default value.
Under z/OS, specifying PRINTINIT causes
the procedure output file to be emptied before SAS writes output to it. It
also forces the file attributes to be correct for a print file. Specify NOPRINTINIT
if a previous program or job step has already written output to the same file
and you want to preserve that output.
