Cannot write image to /pbr/biconfig/... on SAS Studio (on demand for academics)

[lsimek]

The following code:

options printerpath=png nodate papersize=('5.75in','4.75in');
ods _all_ close;
ods printer file="/home/u64055593/sasuser.v94/projekt/_tablica.png";
proc sgrender data=rez;run;
ods printer close;
ods listing;

which is trying to copy the code given here

and is following the instructions given in similar thread here

produces the error: ERROR: Cannot write image to /pbr/biconfig/940/Lev1/SASApp/SGPlot2.png. Please ensure that proper disk permissions are set.

You need to tell ODS what DIRECTORY to use, not just what FILE to write.  Otherwise it tries to write the file to the CURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY, which in your case is not writable by you.

Either tell ODS what path.

Or try changing the current directory to a place where it can write.

Thank you, the answer is right. Adding ods listing gpath='/home/u64055593/sasuser.v94/projekt/'; will solve the problem.
