QDEVICE Procedure

Creating a DEVOPTION Report

The DEVOPTION report produces a report of the hardware device options that are supported by the specified device. This report is unavailable for universal printers.

About DEVOPTION Report Variables

For a description of the variables, see DEVOPTION Report Variables.

The following table lists the variables that you can use in a DEVOPTION report as well as the labels for the variables that are used either in the SAS log or the output data set. If you do not specify the VAR statement, the variables appear in the order that they appear in the table.

Variable	SAS Log Label	Output Data Set Label
NAME	Output data set	NAME OF DEVICE OR PRINTER
DESC	Description	DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE OR PRINTER
NAMETYPE	Type	TYPE OF DEVICE OR PRINTER
LOCATION	Device Catalog	LOCATION OF DEVICE OR PRINTER DEFINTION
PROTOTYPE	Prototype	PRINTER PROTOTYPE
BIT	Bit Position	DEVICE OPTION BIT POSITON
BITSTRING	Bit Pattern	DEVICE OPTION BIT PATTERN
OPTION	Device Option	DEVICE OPTION NAME
ODESC	Option Description	DEVICE OPTION DESCRIPTION
SUPPORT	Support	DEVICE OPTION SUPPORT

Example: DEVOPTION Report

The following QDEVICE procedure creates a DEVOPTION report for the SASEMF graphics device, reporting supported options because the default for SUPPORT is YES:

proc qdevice report=devoption;
   device sasemf;
run;

Here is the report in the SAS log:

104  proc qdevice report=devoption;
105     device sasemf;
106  run;
