ERROR java.lang.NumberFormatException: empty String (SAS 9.4)

Hi everyone,

I try to create a PDF file with ODS, and when try to plot with "Proc Sgplot" the output windows show me the next sentence:

"java.lang.NumberFormatException: empty String"

So, in the PDF file created that graph disappear, but for the tables (with proc report) and graphs (with proc gchart) works fine!

I hope you can help me with this, Thanks.

Sounds like a Java incompatibility. Make sure the version of Java installed is appropriate for your SAS installation.
