PROC HPSplit does not display graphs when ods graphics on in SAS 9.4

[maplepine]

Hello,

I am trying to use proc hpsplit to perform some decision tree modeling, I think the procedure successfully generate a tree and output text based results, but for some reason the graphic plots are not displayed. the code is below:

ODS SELECT ALL;
ods trace on;
ods graphics on;
proc hpsplit data=save.treedata assignmissing=similar cvmethod=random(5) intervalbins=10 mincatsize=15
minleafsize=35 nodes=detail plots=all cvmodelfit;
class Good
&charvarname ;
model Good(event='1')=&numvarname
&charvarname ;
grow entropy;
prune costcomplexity(leaves=5);
run;

And the log shows the plot was generated, but somehow it wasn't displayed..

NOTE: The HPSPLIT procedure is executing in single-machine mode.
NOTE: Cross-validating using 5 folds.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Enable a destination such as HTML that displays plots or look for the png files that are generated in your working directory.  Enabling a destination such as HTML or RTF is preferable.

Thanks Warren! I found the graphs! First time using graphics utility in SAS, I thought it will just show in the output window...Thanks a lot!

You are welcome!  They do in fact "just show up" when you run SAS in certain ways, but not in other ways.  There are many ways to run SAS.
