I'm trying out mainframe SAS 9.4, but I got the following error. What am I missing? The same code worked in SAS 9,2. Thanks. -- Warren

Did you change from a stand-alone SAS install to a server based install with the upgrade? Then the paths for your filename may need to be addressed as the server will need help trying to write to your computer.

Or there may be another path to the file related issue. Did your FILENAME statement return any errors when defining the fileref OUTF?

No, this is not PC SAS. I did not install it. It is in the mainframe.

Thanks,

Warren

TTF files are True Type Font files.

It seems to me that while upgrading from SAS 9.2 to SAS 9.4

either some font files were not installed or they were installed to another path.

Check it with your SAS administrator.
