-
n
-
specifies the number of characters in a
line.
-
MIN
-
sets the number of characters in a line
to 64.
-
MAX
-
sets the number of characters in a line
to 256.
-
hexX
-
specifies the number of characters in a
line as a hexadecimal number. You must specify the value beginning with a
number (0-9), followed by an X. For example, the value 0FAx sets the line size of the SAS procedure output to
250.
The LINESIZE= system option specifies
the line size (printer line width) in characters for the SAS log and the SAS
output that are used by the DATA step and procedures. The LINESIZE= system
option affects the following output:
-
the Output window for the ODS LISTING destination
-
output produced for an ODS markup destination by a DATA step
where
the FILE statement destination is PRINT (the FILE PRINT ODS statement is
not affected by the LINESIZE= system option)
-
procedures that produce only characters that cannot be scaled,
such as the PLOT procedure, the CALENDAR procedure, the TIMEPLOT procedure,
the FORMS procedure, and the CHART procedure
