sgplot saved on computer as jpegs

vicdicenzo — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 23:37:02 GMT

I am using SGPLOT and would like those plots saved to a specific folder on my Macbook as JPEGS with a new file name. The code I used for SAS University Edition worked:

(towards the beginning)

ODS graphics on / reset imagename="new file name" imagefmt =jpeg;
ODS listing gpath = "/folders/myfolders/2020/NCSTB/OUTPUT/dest folder/";

Run;

(at the end)

ods rtf close;
run;

This is not working with SAS On Demand for Academics.

The code generates the plots but I get this error message:

WARNING: GPATH or PATH is not a writable directory. It will be ignored.

ERROR: Cannot write image to /pbr/biconfig/940/Lev1/SASApp/stb lf plots22.jpeg. Please ensure that proper disk permissions are set.

It seems to work for me. Start from this example and see what you add that makes your code fail.

ods graphics on / reset imagename="new file name" imagefmt =jpeg;
ods listing gpath = '%temp%';
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class; 
  scatter x=WEIGHT y=HEIGHT;
run;

NOTE: Listing image output written to %temp%\new file name1.jpeg.

Directory of C:\Users\M771879.CORPNZ\AppData\Local\Temp

SAS ODA can't write files to your local computer.

He's writing to a Unix path, so I assume he's writing to an ODA path.

This path /pbr/biconfig/940/Lev1/SASApp is a no-no though as it's the SAS system path.

Thanks for the code but that did not work. What other ways can I save the graphs as jpegs?

In SAS University Edition, I was able to save to a folder on my MacBook that was backed up to iCloud.

You cannot do this in the cloud version. You can save it to the cloud location on On Demand and then manually download the files. You could write programs to automatically upload them to a cloud storage process via On Demand using PROC HTTP as well.

Thanks - I got it.
