Thanks

Can you show the code you are using to set that option?

And does the log show any warnings or errors? If so paste the log with the code and messages into a code box opened with the forum {i} icon to preserve message formatting.

My code is very simple:

ods graphics;

proc sgpanel data=sashelp.class;
where age > 14;
panelby age / headerbackcolor=pink;
vbar name / response=height stat=mean;
run;

ods graphics / reset=width;

the log message:

2262 ods graphics / reset=width;
2263 ods graphics;
2264
2265 proc sgpanel data=sashelp.class;
2266 where age > 14;

And the appearance is why I suggested posting the log in a code box. The location of the -------- would appear under what you typed to indicate exactly which "Option or parameter is not recognized"

Which exact version of SAS are you running? The headerbackcolor option appears to have been added for SAS 9.4.3.

You should be able to check your maintance level in the About SAS help.
