Forms Printing

Overview of Forms Printing

Before Universal Printing was introduced, SAS provided a utility for print jobs called a

form. A form was a standard template that let you control such things as line size and

margin information for pages in a print job. Universal Printing is easier to use and has

more features than the simple controls offered in forms printing, but SAS still supports

forms.

Printing with forms is still available through the Print window. You can switch to forms

print mode by selecting File ð Print and selecting Use Forms.

Note: Forms printing is not available in batch mode.

Creating or Editing a Form

If your organization has legacy reports that need to be printed using forms, you might

have to use the FORM window to create or edit a form. SAS still supports the ability to

create or edit forms, though Universal Printing provides more features, and is the

recommended method of printing.

You can create or edit a form by entering the FSFORM command:

FSFORM<catalog-name.>form-name

If you do not specify a catalog-name, SAS uses the SASUSER.PROFILE catalog. If the

form name that you specify does not exist, SAS creates a new form.

If you are creating a new form, SAS displays the Printer Selection frame. If you are

editing an existing form, SAS displays the Text Body and Margin Information frame.

To move between the FORMS frames, you can do the following:

• Use the NEXTSCR command to scroll to the next frame and the PREVSCR

command to scroll to the previous frame.
