Syntax
Parameter Values
- fileref
-
specifies a fileref
that points to the destination for the graphics stream file (GSF)
output. Fileref must be a valid
SAS fileref up to eight characters long and must be assigned with
a FILENAME statement before running a SAS/GRAPH procedure that uses
that fileref. The destination specified by the FILENAME statement
can be either a specific file or an aggregate file location. See FILENAME Statement for additional
information about the FILENAME statement.
Details
Whether the resulting
graphs are stored as one file or many files depends on both the type
of destination and the setting of the GSFMODE= option.
If you specify a fileref
with GSFNAME= and forget the FILENAME statement that defines the fileref,
and if a destination is specified by the GACCESS= graphics option
or device parameter, SAS/GRAPH assigns that destination to the fileref
and sends the graphics output there. See also GACCESS.
