This panel offers you five ways to replay the output of a cataloged inquiry:
  • Replaying color graphics that are produced by the inquiry
  • Browsing the report that is generated by the inquiry
  • Browsing the MICSLOG for the inquiry
  • Browsing the SAS log that documents the inquiry
  • Viewing any CSV file output, and printing the inquiry output.
Option 1
Allows color graphics output displays. To display your output at a color graphics terminal, be sure that the entry after the Graphics Device prompt on line seven of this panel correctly identifies your terminal. If you are not using a color graphics terminal, do not attempt to use Option 1. Sending graphics characters to a nongraphics device can produce unpredictable results. If you are not using a color graphics terminal, you do not need to respond to the Graphics Device prompt. Once you select Option 1, you see a list of graphics that were created by the MICF inquiry. When you select one of these by entering S to the left of the graphic's name, the graphic appears on your screen. The Inquiry Output Replay panel shows you whether there are any color graphics in the output from the inquiry. If there are one or more graphics in the output, this comment is placed to the right of the menu prompt:
**** Graphics Available ****
Instead of replaying the graphics output on your screen, you can reply Y to the Override Color Graphics Parameters prompt. This takes you to the Color Graphics Device Parameter panel.
MICF provides defaults for all the parameters on the Color Graphics Device Parameter panel. If you override the defaults using this panel, your changes apply only to the current output replay request.
When you are on the Color Graphics Device Parameters panel, you can change the name of the color graphics device to any of the devices for which SAS/GRAPH has device drivers. You can also specify any GOPTIONS parameters whose defaults you want to change. (We recommend that you review the advice in the SAS/GRAPH documentation before overriding these defaults.)
An additional parameter that you can change on the Color Graphics Device Parameters panel is Background Color. This parameter is useful when previewing graphics online before routing them to a hardcopy device. For example, a white background enables the terminal to simulate the appearance of the hardcopy device with black text on a white background.
Note:
Use this option with care as an invalid color specification causes the graphics replay to fail.
Option 2
Browse Report, displays the report that is generated by the inquiry. You can move through this report using the same commands as you would use with ISPF BROWSE. The report consists of the non-graphics portions of the output from the inquiry. The Inquiry Output Replay panel shows you whether there are any printed reports in the output from the inquiry. If there are one or more printed reports in the output, this comment is placed to the right of the menu prompt:
**** Report Available ****
Option 3
Browse MICSLOG, displays the MICSLOG that was produced by MICF. The MICSLOG contains information, warnings, and error messages relating to inquiry execution.
Option 4
Browse SAS Log, displays the SAS log that was produced by MICF. This log contains a copy of the SAS statements that MICF generated when the inquiry was created with messages from SAS. If you have any questions about the data sources or data manipulation, you should be able to find the answers here. If you are not an experienced SAS programmer and are having difficulties, show this log to someone who is familiar with SAS.
Option 6
View CSV File, displays the CSV file that is generated by the inquiry. You can use the same commands as you would use with ISPF VIEW, which enables you to "create" a copy of this file under your own (non-MICF catalog) control, and using display tailoring commands such as ONLY or EXCLUDE.
The Inquiry Output Replay panel shows you whether there are any CSV files available from the inquiry. If there are one or more CSV files in the output, this comment is placed to the right of the menu prompt:
**** CSV Available ****
