Hi...I am trying to create a graph using proc gchart and get an error message that the device was not specified. I have included the statement in the code (using SAS 9.2)

goptions reset=all device=ACTXIMG rotate=landscape;

Any suggestions why I get the eror message? Thanks.

You may need to share more of your code.

Did you specify an ODS destination?

You might accidently have the ODS LISTING destination on. The ACTXIMG device is not valid for that desitnation. Put this statement at the beginning of your program and see if this message goes away:

ods listing close;

Hope this helps!
