I cannot get my EG data into ODS Graphics Designer. If I save my dataset in work library in EG 7.15 and then open up ODS Graphics designer, I cannot see my dataset in there. How could I fix this issue?
There was a way to create such library using the SAS Management Console 9.4.
The WORK library is, by definition, "private" to every single SAS session, and is deleted when the session terminates. It cannot be used to exchange data between sessions/processes.
You need to store your data in a permanent library available to both processes.
Thank you for the fast reply. All instructions I've seen for ODS Graphics Designer advice accessing
data through WORK library. I think the problem is that the ODS Graphics Designer should have access to
the WORK library in the open EG session but in our server it does not and I don't know how to work around this problem.
The ODS Graphics Designer connects to the same server, but starts its own SAS session; so you have to use permanent libraries for your data.
Very well, but I do not seem to have libraries to which I could write and would be accessible to both. Is there any way to open data in ODS Graphics Designer from any location (e.g. network drives)?
Have a talk with your SAS admin to set up a permanent library where you have write permission.
