The issue is the default font size from the LISTING destination on our LINUX system is 10pt, and I was wondering if there was any way to make that 9pt, like a system or configuration option. I have strict restrictions on what I can do: the linesize must be 132, which maximizes number of characters with 1-inch margins in a 9-point monospace font. I'm running this code in batch SAS, so yes, I am producing a listing file. For reference, I remember when SAS versioning moved away from "release year.release #" to version xx.xx. I was hoping for some advice from old-timers like me. Honestly, If it were up to me, I'd do the whole thing in RTF with a monospace font, and use a VB macro to produce a .lst file, but company standards don't allow for that. I stumbled on the solution: At the invocation of the LINUX terminal session, we have to specify which font the XTERM window uses. Apparently the font size used by SAS depends on the XTERM settings, which is bad news for large-font workers like me. It would be nice if there was a configuration option to change this.
