Below are files I have put together, with help from SAS-L, which I use as included files to change print setup.

many thanx to all who have contributed, over the years, to this solution. Ron Fehd the macro -- and include -- maven CDC Atlanta GA

typical program usage: %include SASAUTOS(IPSULAND); %*include SASAUTOS(IPSUPOR8); %*include SASAUTOS(IPSUPORT); *proc PRINT data = <whatever>; %include SASAUTOS(IDLGPRT);*opens [Alt File Print] dialogue box in output window;

note1: linesize and pagesize in the IPSU???? files assume a left margin of 0.6 inch (for portrait use) note2: sysprintfont gives an error if other options follow it, which is why is it last in options statement note3: using dm then options did not work, note4: run may be optional, was necessary for testing note5: usage: save each file under <name>.SAS in fileref SASAUTOS filename SASAUTOS list; will give you list of directories used you can add a directory to SASAUTOS in either your config.sas or autoexec.sas

/*IDLGPRT: Dialog: Print? [Alt File Print]*/ dm output 'dlgprt' output;

/*IDLGPSU: Dialog: Print SetUp [Alt File prinT setup]*/ dm 'dlgprtsetup display' log;

/*IPSULAND: Print SetUp Landscape 8*/ options linesize = 148 pagesize = 51 pageno = 1 sysprintfont='SAS Monospace' 8; dm 'dlgprtsetup orient = landscape nodisplay'; run;

/*IPSUPOR8: Print SetUp Portrait 8*/ options linesize =110 pagesize = 67 pageno = 1 sysprintfont='SAS Monospace' 8; dm 'dlgprtsetup orient = portrait nodisplay' log; run;

/*IPSUPORT: Print SetUp Portrait 10*/ options linesize = 88 pagesize = 54 pageno = 1 sysprintfont='SAS Monospace' 10; dm 'dlgprtsetup orient = portrait nodisplay' log; run;
