ALTLOG=file-specification
|
-
ALTLOG=file-specification
-
specifies a destination for a copy
of the sas log. The file-specification argument
can be SYS$PRINT (the default print queue); your current display, SYS$OUTPUT
(the default output stream); or an OpenVMS pathname. All messages written
to the SAS log are written to the destination.
-
NOALTLOG
-
specifies that the SAS log is not to be
copied.
The ALTLOG= system option specifies a
destination to which a copy of the SAS log is written. Use the ALTLOG= system
option to capture log output for printing.
To send the SAS log to a printer other than the default
printer, redefine the SYS$PRINT logical name to the queue that you want to
use.
Note: ALTLOG= replaces the following options from earlier
releases of SAS: LDISK, LPRINT, and LTYPE. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
Note: When SAS is started with the OBJECTSERVER and NOTERMINAL system
options and no log is specified, SAS discards all log and alternate log
messages. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
