Hello everyone!

I'm using 64-bit EG 5.1 (5.100.0.13304) with Hot fix 21 (the latest), and have an unexplained error.

My code is this, where oBranchName and joinDesc are categorical variables:

     ODS PRINTER PRINTER=png FILE="&outroot\output8,png";

     PROC FREQ DATA=closed_member_demographics NOPRINT;

          TABLES oBranchName*joinDesc / out=stats8 ( KEEP=oBranchName joinDesc count );

     RUN;

     PROC GPLOT data=stats8;

          BUBBLE oBranchName*joinDesc=count;

     RUN;

     ODS PRINTER close;

The error I get is this for the PROC GPLOT step:

     ERROR: Physical file does not exist, C:\Users\nderby\AppData\Local\Temp\SEG5680\SAS Temporary Files\_TD5992_GALILEO_\_FE811AE9D4F474BAD8DC3D0E025D40B.bmp.

This happens even if I keep the ODS PRINTER closed. Any ideas? This seems like a bug.

The really bizarre thing is that the following similar code (for a categorical variable ageTier and a numeric variable mOpenYear) works perfectly:

     ODS PRINTER PRINTER=png FILE="&outroot\output7,png";

     PROC FREQ DATA=closed_member_demographics NOPRINT;

          TABLES ageTier*mOpenYear / out=stats7 ( KEEP=ageTier mOpenYear count );

     RUN;

     PROC GPLOT data=stats7;

          BUBBLE ageTier*mOpenYear=count;

     RUN;

     ODS PRINTER close;

Thanks so much,

NATE

This may be a Windows permissions and permissions inheritance problem. Try to take a look at the directory tree and the properties if the directories while the SAS session is still active.

I don't know if this solves your problem or not, but in the first line:


ODS PRINTER PRINTER=png FILE="&outroot\output8,png";


there is a comma between "output8" and "png". Shouldn't there be a dot?
