Why can't I save the graphs to specified file as expected? Could someone help me out on this? thanks very much.
Best regards,

Here are the partial notes from SAS:

Answer 1

First of all please make sure that the saveDestination="c:\sas graph" is pointing to an existing folder and that you assign a filename to the output.
Check:
if you are running sas locally, that your user has write access to the folder
if you are running sas on server, that the "server user" has write access to the folder.
Second, if the first sentence evaluates to false (and also sas is running locally) then create the folder with the required user access rights.
However if you are running sas remotely, you won't be able to write to your local computer, but to the server only. In case of windows server, you can use the following syntax to save your file:
[code start]
%let mypath = C:\Users\%sysfunc(dequote(&_CLIENTUSERID))\Documents\;
this
ods pdf file= "&mypath\yourfile.pdf";
or this
ods listing gpath = "&mypath\yourfile.jpeg";
*** your code***
ods _all_ close;
[code end]
