CHARTYPE=cell-size | screen-size

Required Arguments

cell-size
specifies the character set number for an IBM 3290 terminal. Values are 1 for a 6 x 12 cell and 2 for a 9 x 16 cell.
screen-size
specifies the screen size for other Extended-Data-Stream (EDS) terminals. Values are 1 for a primary screen size and 2 for an alternate screen size.

Details

For an IBM 3290 terminal, the CHARTYPE= option specifies which character cell size to use. For other EDS terminals, it specifies which screen size to use. This option corresponds to the CHARTYPE option in SAS/GRAPH.
The default value, 0, indicates that the CHARTYPE= option is not applicable to the terminal that you are using.
