i want to put them in a catalog mycat

i try this but it's not OK
libname matgre "G:\Assens\greplay";

ods rtf file='G:/assens/greplay/grafods2.rtf';
ods pdf file='G:/assens/greplay/grafods2.pdf';
ods html path='G:/assens/greplay' (url=none)
body='grafods2.html'
style=sasweb;
goptions reset=all rotate=portrait;

proc greplay igout=matgre
tc=sashelp.templt template=l2r2 nofs;
treplay 1:"GBP1.jpg"

I've missed or forgotten part of this discussion, so excuse me if I ask an obvious question.

First of all, what you will replay is not the jpg files. These are files you have printed from a SAS step where the device driver was a JPEG file constructor. On that same step, you should have had the option to also send the output to a graphics catalogue. In fact, if you didn't specify one, they would by default have gone to the WORK.GSEG catalog.

In this location, they are native SAS/Graph objects, and not printed files. It is these that you can copy to other catalogues with catalogue management steps, or use as the input to the Template procedures of SAS/Graph.

Saying "it's not OK", is not sufficient for a discussion forum. You are better off sending a copy of the log entry where your attempt failed. There should be something that complains about the definition for the four treplay statements. It may also complain that the IGOUT catalogue does not exist since this is expected to be the input catalogue for the procedure. Your output catalogue is defined with GOUT.

In addition to the previous comment
i test and correct your code but
i show you that images (jpeg or png) inserted in authentic sasgraph object (gslide)
with the sasgraph editor and correctly saved
return those alerts from Sas when i replay the 4 slides

you must think to another solution
in html links to the images and so one
in fact finally why using sasgraph?
