exporting graphs in SAS9.4

Hi all

I have a small query for you all related to exporting Univariate histogram (in my case) as gif.

In SAS 9.2, I use to do something like :

filename grafout "&dirout\mygraph.gif" ;
goptions gsfname=grafout gsfmode=replace device=gif ;
title1 f=swissb h=1.3 "my super graph" ;
proc univariate data = test noprint ;
histogram var1/cfill = steel ;
inset n mean std min max ;
where var1ne . ; run ; quit ;

In SAS 9.4, that doesn't seem to work anymore. I read somewhere that SAS 9.4 ha a default HTML output. Is that right? if so can I 'disable' it and go back to my old way? or is there a more efficient way with SAS 9.4?

PS: I am not using SAS Enterprise.

Thanks

Try turning ODS graphics off.

ODS GRAPHICS OFF;

filename grafout "&dirout\mygraph.gif" ;

goptions gsfname=grafout gsfmode=replace device=gif ;

title1 f=swissb h=1.3 "my super graph" ;

proc univariate data = sashelp.class noprint ;
  histogram age /cfill = steel ;
  inset n mean std min max ;
  where age ne . ; 
run ;

From the PROC UNIVARIATE documentation:

The UNIVARIATE procedure supports two kinds of graphical output.

ODS Statistical Graphics output is produced if ODS Graphics is enabled, for example by specifying the ODS GRAPHICS ON statement prior to the PROC statement.
Otherwise, traditional graphics are produced if SAS/GRAPH^®is licensed.
