I haven't tried this. But on 2/26, Heinr. Stuerzl posted a message to this group about doing, I think, what you wanted. He suggested using the following code:

options sysprintfont='SAS Monospace' 8; dm "dlgprtsetup orientation=portrait nodisplay";

Correspondingly, you could use

dm "dlgprtsetup orientation=landscape nodisplay";

Note that Mr. Stuerzl was complaining about bugs/features in his post, so this may not work exactly as you want if you are using both the code method and the dialog box itself. But, it's worth a try. Again, I haven't tried it, so this may not do what you want.
