Can someone help explain the log error message ?

[Anna_Guo]

When I run and regression and generate  output, log shows following mesasge:

ERROR: Cannot write image to DiagnosticsPanel1.png. Please ensure that proper disk permissions are set.

My code is:

proc rege data= A;

model y=x1 x1;

ods output parameterestimates=table1;

run;

Sometimes it works, sometime not. I closed sas program and re-run it still give me this message.

My purpose is to create a file saving all parameters and corresponding statistics (T-value, P-value). I have many regressions and I would like to report my results ( parametere, P value and t value) only.

Please help. Thanks.

Hi.

If you are using SAS 9.3., then PROC REG will automatically create all of the diagnostics plots under your working folder *you can see your working SAS folder by looking at the bottom, where there should be a path, like C:\Documents and Settings\User\Folder*

I would suggest to run

1. ODS GRAPHICS OFF;

2. ODS HTML CLOSE;

before you run your regression.

Good luck!

Anca.
