This selection enables you to enter SAS statements or system-specific commands that are submitted before the graph is created. This is useful in directing device-dependent graphics output to hard-copy devices that are not directly attached to your monitor.
For example, the following SAS statements may be necessary when you are using a graphics printer:
filename gsasfile 'myfile'; goptions gaccess=gsasfile gsfmode=replace;
In addition, a system-specific file allocation may be required. If statements to be submitted are system commands, they must be preceded by an X and end with a semicolon (;).
Note that your GOPTIONS statement does not need to include a DEVICE= specification; SAS/LAB software takes care of that.
