ODS Graphics Designer

[Jaime]

Hi all,

Why wont the ODS Graphics Designer recognize my mapped library or read the datasets I created in the WORK directoty?

I am using this call:
%sgdesign(refresh=Y);
%sgdesign();

Hi,

Please provide your SAS version and the platform you are running on.

Are you able to see *any* libraries like sashelp, for example?

Regards,
-Prashant.

[Jaime]

SAS 9.2 TS Level 2M3

I can see SASHELP, SASUSER and WORK.
But the WORK directory does not update to the datasets actually in there.

[PrashantH_sas]

I am assuming you are on a windows machine. Are you using a network-based SAS or is SAS local to your desktop?

The refresh=Y should have worked. Please contact SAS Tech support and provide them the log output from %sgdesign(debug=Y, );

Regards,
-Prashant.

Hi,

I have the same issue. All of a sudden ODS Designer does not show any data set. It shows the message "the library is empty or data sets are not usable" for all three WORK, SASHELP and SASUSER. I am running the M3 build on XP. It has worked fine before with this version, immediately after I upgraded from M2.
%sgdesign(debug=Y) gives following info in the log:
MPRINT(CHECKSERVER): proc printto

Hi,

Were there any error dialogs after you quit SAS (not just the Designer) ?

Are you able to run a simple proc sgplot example and see the output ?
--
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class; vbar age; run;
--

Regards,
Prashant.

Hi,

Just before it stopped working, did you change anything with respect to password protection for datasets, system option obs=, or somehow add userdefined formats to the datasets?

Also, could you report back the value for Size in
Tools->Preferences->Render tab->Size

Regards,
-Prashant.

[asmits]

Hi Pranshant,

The SGPLOT runs fine. The size is 100.000. I never use PW protection or anything. I am using GTL in macro's and those work.

Thanks,
Alain

Hi Alain,

At this point, it would best to contact Techinical support for the resolution of your problem.
