Hi, how can I modify sysprint value in SAS EG 7.1?

I tried it in SAS 9.4 and it was successfull, by options sysprint = "printer-name"; but not in EG 7.1.

Supposedly I got an error that the setting option I tried to do to sysprint would be ignored. 

 

Thanks

If you are using a remote SAS server with EG then the sysprint option references printing on that server which is of no use at all.

 

It may have some use if EG is using local server SAS on your PC.

Thank you for your response, how could check if it using a local server or a remote one?

By opening your server connection in EG (located in the bottom right of your EG screen), select the Servers option. A local server will be listed as Local, remote ones as typically SASApp, SASApp2 etc.

@SASKiwiHi, I checked it just a moment ago and I dont own a profile, so I'm using a local server. What would you recommend me to do (posible places to look) so I can set correctly sysprint value?

Thanks for your help

If you just have your required sysprint setting in an OPTIONS statement and you run it in EG, does it work without error? If you get an error please post the log.
