Problems or Questions?


If you want to print output directly to a file, you need to write at least part of a SAS program. If you are using SAS/ASSIST, generate your graphics and then Recall the source code into the editor window as described in printing to a printer Now you need to add a filename statement and modify the goptions statement as follows:

filename grafout 'filename.ext';
goptions device=device gsfname=grafout gaccess=sasgastd gsfmode=replace;

where filename.ext is the path to the file you want to use as output, and device is one of the following:
Graphics Devices for Printing
Device Name Output Produced
PS monochrome postscript
PSCOLOR color postscript
PSEPSF encapsulated postscript
