How do I save ouput from proc sgrender as png file with specified filename ?

karlbang — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 14:20:53 GMT

I am trying to save ouput from proc sgrender as a png file with specified filename. I can get SAS to save it with generic filenames like SGRENDER17.png using

ods html gpath='..';

but cannot get anything out of

filename grafout "c:\dropbox\FIG1A.png";
goptions reset=all gsfname=grafout gsfmode=replace device=png;
proc sgrender data=GRM template=GRM;
run;
filename grafout clear;

what am I doing wrong ?

Instead of GOPTIONS, use the ODS GRAPHICS statement:

ods graphics / reset outputfmt=png imagename="MyName";

It gets written to your GPATH or PATH (if GPATH not specified).
