Cannot write image to SGPanel.png. Please ensure that proper disk permissions are set.

Good day!

I try to use sgpanel (my SAS version 9.3). When I use procedures like gchart - I have no problem. But when I try to replace g-proc for sg-proc I have this message: Cannot write image to SGPanel.png. Please ensure that proper disk permissions are set.

I can do nothing with permissions , but I don't understand why I haven't this problem with g-proc (maybe I have problem with understanding a difference between Graph and ODS graphics).

Maybe somebody can tell me a workaround for this problem? I'm trying to do something like this on 9.3: http://blogs.sas.com/content/graphicallyspeaking/2013/11/27/is-there-a-car-on-your-radar

Part of my code:

proc sgpanel data=radarPoly sganno=Line;

panelBy model / columns=4;

vector x=radAxisX y=radAxisY / xOrigin=0 yOrigin=0 noArrowHeads

lineAttrs=(color=lightgray);

scatter x=radAxisX y=radAxisY / markerChar=radAxisLabel;

run;

Hello, try adding the following statement before SGPANEL, but instead of just using "C:", use a location where you have access to write to.

ods listing gpath = "C:";

Thanks.

Fixed it by reference to special macro variables. And add 'ods _all_ close'.

ods _all_ close;

goptions device=png;
