Could not locate style 'text' when plotting and Could not locate style 'html' when creating graph

Mario_1 — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 09:31:36 GMT

I have different plots and graphs in my code that initially printed with colors as required.

However, after restarting my windows PC and rerun my codes, all the plots and graphs are displayed as grey/white.

In the log I suddenly see the following when plotting:

"WARNING: Could not locate style 'text'.

and when creating tables:

"WARNING: Could not locate style 'html'.

I have checked that output style in preferences is set to HTMLBlue, and I never changed it. I am using SAS 9.4

Sample code I run is from following

https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/grstatproc/62603/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a003199396.htm

proc sgplot data=sashelp.stocks (where=(date >= "01jan2000"d
                                 and date <= "01jan2001"d
                                 and stock = "IBM"));
   title "Stock Volume vs. Close";
   vbar date / response=volume;
   vline date / response=close y2axis;
run;

and my result is the following:

How can I have the tables and plots to show colors again?

Probably your ODS destination point to monochrome style (e.g Journal)

See:

ods HTML style=HtmlBlue;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.stocks (where=(date >= "01jan2000"d
                                 and date <= "01jan2001"d
                                 and stock = "IBM"));
   title "Stock Volume vs. Close";
   vbar date / response=volume;
   vline date / response=close y2axis;
run;

ods HTML style=Journal;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.stocks (where=(date >= "01jan2000"d
                                 and date <= "01jan2001"d
                                 and stock = "IBM"));
   title "Stock Volume vs. Close";
   vbar date / response=volume;
   vline date / response=close y2axis;

Re: Could not locate style 'text' when plotting and Could not locate style 'html' when creating grap

yabwon — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 10:16:51 GMT

Do you have any autoexec file on start of your system? or do you %include anything before running your example?

Bart

Re: Could not locate style 'text' when plotting and Could not locate style 'html' when creating grap

yabwon — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 10:18:42 GMT

Could you also try adding:

ods _all_ close;

before the code?

Bart

Re: Could not locate style 'text' when plotting and Could not locate style 'html' when creating grap

yabwon — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 10:21:09 GMT

and additionally at the beginning try adding also:

ods path work.tmp(update) sasuser.templat(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read);

Bart

I cleaned the log

dm 'odsresults; clear';
dm "log; clear; ";

and rerun the codes. Suddenly all plots went grey. Afterwards I restarted the computer, and new plots also in new files are grey

ballardw — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 16:34:13 GMT

I wonder if something has modified your STYLE definition.

We can check this by running:

proc template;
  source styles.htmlblue;
run;

The log should show something like this at the start:

202  proc template;
203    source styles.htmlblue;
define style Styles.Htmlblue;
   parent = styles.statistical;
   class GraphColors /

We are looking for the PARENT=, if it is not styles.statistical then the Htmlblue style has been modified. Additional information at the end of the log for that should include something like:

NOTE: Path 'Styles.Htmlblue' is in: SASHELP.TMPLMST.

If the Path is not SASHELP.TMPLMST then very likely the HTMLBlue style has been modified and the path for your templates is finding a different one.

If the Htmlblue is not showing different values then run the same code for Styles.Statistical and check on the same items. The parent for Statistical should be Default and should also be in the SASHELP.TMPLMST store. If not then find the store it is in and remove or rename it.

Then same for Styles.Default. But here you are looking for a CLASS Text section as Default should not have a parent. If it does something wonky is going on. If the path is different than

One really hopes that no one played with Styles.Default. The "text" referenced could be some standard values that other styles call and if the section in Styles.Default that defines them has been altered from SASHELP.TMPLMST then that is the issue. Hope there is still Styles.default in the SASHELP.TMPLMST.

Warning: if you are running SAS in any server manner then you likely have to talk to the SAS admin about changes to the item stores for the styles as you likely do not have permissions to change them.

If you do indeed see some issues with the results then likely you ran some Proc Template code somewhere. It may have been buried in a borrowed macro or example code for a specific purpose and did not realize the effect of Proc Template persists across sessions.

If your are running SAS locally then you can delete styles from specific path with code like this.

Proc template;
   path lib.store; 
   /* these would be the paths reported in the other code DO NOT 
      use SASHELP.TMPLMST as those are the default installs*/
   delete styles.statistical;
   /* or which ever of the styles were not in TMPLMST*/
run;

You might have a corrupted template store in your SASUSER area. Check your SASUSER folder. if you see a template.sas7bitm file, either remove it or rename it, and restart your SAS session. Let us know if that clears it up.

This bit

112  ods path work.tmp(update) sasuser.templat(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read);

with the UPDATE means that you have TWO stores that modified. That means if either Work.tmp or sasuser.templat have versions of Htmlblue, Statistics or Default they would be the one used. SASUSER.TEMPLAT is provided by SAS as an intended place to write modified or new style definitions (among other things).

Hallo all,

I had exact the same issue (suddenly all figures grey), no solutions suggested in this topics worked for me. This helped:

1) run this:

proc options option=sasuser;

run;

2) copy the path to the windows folder SASUSER shown in the log (i.e. SASUSER= C:\Users\blabla\blabla\blabla\9.4 or something like that)

3) close your SAS session and go to this windows folder SASUSER= C:\Users\blabla\blabla\blabla\9.4

4) In this windows folder rename templat.sas7bitm and regstry.sas7bitm to templat.old and regstry.old

5) start new SAS session (new default templat.sas7bitm and regstry.sas7bitm will be created by SAS)

Good luck!
