TEMPLATE: restore reference object and find parent template

Can anyone explain the following:

132 proc template ;

133 path work.templat ;

134 source styles.novumstyle ;

WARNING: Could not restore referenced object: Styles.Printer.

WARNING: Could not find parent template: Styles.Printer.

define style Styles.Novumstyle;

parent = Styles.Printer;

class fonts /

Why should I have to "bring" styles.printer into work.templat?

Thank you,

You may want to use the SHOW option with your path settings. Perhaps you temporarily removed SASHELP.TMPLMST from the Path value that SAS is attempting to use so that it couldn't find the base styles.printer

Run the following code and check weather you got printer style or not.

proc template; list styles;

run;

Ballard,

In lines 138-144, I create styles.printer in work.templat, so it is available. Correct me if I am wrong, but &SYSODSPATH. has the same paths and settings as ODS SHOW, no? This is the contigous log, so I run nothing to change the paths.

Thank you,

Kevin

Surya,

My response to Ballard addresses your kind post:

Thank you,

You mentioned " path work.templat " in your code at the starting. This overrides the ods path

Indeed, removing the PATH statement when attempting to obtain the SOURCE did not limit the search to the itemstors. Assuming that the ODS PATH is correct, then STYLES.PRINTER was found.

Thank you,

Kevin
