Receiving error: ERROR: Unable to load the traditional graphics subsystem: SASXGSUB.

Each time I try to use proc boxplot in Base SAS or EG, I receive the following error: ERROR: Unable to load the traditional graphics subsystem: SASXGSUB.

I haven't been able to find any support documentation for this error specifically and was wondering if anyone else had experienced it and what the fix was.

The "traditional" device-based graphics requires a license to SAS/Graph.

You can check to see if you have such a license by running:

proc setinit; run;

Log shows this if licensed.
---SAS/GRAPH

If you don't have a license then you'll want to use a different procedure such as SGPLOT or get a license.

If the log shows that you have license then run:

Proc product_status;run;

Log shows this if installed:
For SAS/GRAPH ...
   Custom version information:

If licensed and not installed then you need to reinstall making sure that SAS/Graph is selected.
