I'm trying to output the results from PROC COMPARE to a dataset so that I can reference the variables that are unequal and their values. But when I open the dataset, it gave me a big red X and error message: A generic error occurred in GDI+

Here is the program I used: 

proc compare base=Original compare=data2 out=comp_cha;
run; 

I also tried different options but none of them seem to help. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

It shouldn't do that.  I think you need to call SAS Technical Support.

I would expect an error that references GDI to have some graphics calls. Are you sure there isn't another graphics procedure running?

Thank you, folks! Yes, I usually see this in graphs but not when I tried to see data set. I'll call SAS tech support on this and post progress if any. Thank you again!!
