ODS PDF Image on Title1 Line for Proc Gchart not showing Logo only Text

[Bildog1]

I submitted the following code below and the result was title1 always resolves to: 

^S={preimage="U:\Graphics and Templates\Logo Files\White PNGs (Use These!)\main-logo-v2-white-200x95.png"} 

Instead of the logo file located at: U:\Graphics and Templates\Logo Files\White PNGs (Use These!)\main-logo-v2-white-200x95.png

Here is submitted code:

goptions reset=all border cback=white htitle=12pt;

options nodate nonumber;
ods listing close;
ods escapechar="^";
ods noproctitle;

ods pdf file="E:\Demographics_201708.pdf" startpage=never gtitle;

/* Assign a color to each type */
pattern1 V=S c=vibg;
pattern2 v=s c=gray;
pattern3 v=s c=green;
pattern4 v=s c=day;
pattern5 v=s c=deoy;

title1 just=l '^S={preimage="U:\Graphics and Templates\Logo Files\White PNGs (Use These!)\main-logo-v2-white-200x95.png"}';
title2 j=c 'August 2017 Data' ;

proc gchart data=agepct;

format num comma12.0;
vbar agecat_c / discrete sumvar=num
subgroup=actcat
g100 nozero
type=percent inside=subpct width=20
outside=sum;
run;

quit;

ods pdf close;

I've looked at this several times and cannot see the issue.  I am using SAS 9.4 Windows TS Level 1M4.

Hi: I believe that if you want to use an image in the title you need for ODS to handle the title using the NOGTITLE option. The GTITLE option tells SAS/GRAPH to control the title and ODS ESCAPECHAR is not typically used by SAS/GRAPH for titles. With NOGTITLE, you tell ODS PDF (or your destination) to control the titles. That should work better for you.

That gets me closer.  Now the text just=l is showing up on title1 instead of the image.  Any other thoughts?

This is the error message in the log for the title statement:

WARNING: The TITLE statement is ambiguous due to invalid options or unquoted text.

It wouldn't hurt to show the title statement from the log with that message. We can't be sure what was actually submitted without it.

In the first post the same title1 statement was submitted, the only difference was changing the line:

ods pdf file="E:\Demographics_201708.pdf" startpage=never gtitle; TO:

ods pdf file="E:\Demographics_201708.pdf" startpage=never nogtitle;

If this helps

 title1 just=l '^S={preimage="U:\AHP\Graphics and Templates\Logo Files\White PNGs (Use
2779! These!)\main-logo-v2-white-200x95.png"}';
WARNING: The TITLE statement is ambiguous due to invalid options or unquoted text.

2779 is the line in the log
