NEXTLPR Printing Macro

Attention : This code requires administrator privileges.

This macro, `nextlpr`, initializes specific variables and configures global graphic options (`goptions`) to route print output to the operating system's 'lpr' command via a pipe. It defines the graphic device, the default SAS^© file name, and printing parameters such as length and append mode. The interaction with the 'lpr' command suggests an administration or system integration functionality.

MACRO

Explanation :
This block defines the `nextlpr` macro. It initializes the `dev` variable and retrieves the current SAS file name or sets it to 'grf'. The line `filename gsasfile pipe 'lpr';` creates a pipe to the 'lpr' system command, enabling direct printing. The `goptions` statements configure the graphic device parameters for output.
