Morning,
I am using ODS LAYOUT to generate a PDF report with several pages. At the top of each page I have defined a header area as follows:
ods region height=1in style={background=VLIGB };
ods text = " ";
ods region y = 0.35 in;
ods text = "^{style[background=VLIGB foreground=white font_size=16pt font_face='arial' just=c textdecoration=underline font_weight=bold]Investigator Request for Materials}";
ods region x = 0.15 in
y = 0.035 in;
ods text = '^{style[preimage="&preimage"]}';
The preimage macro variable (&preimage) value is a directory path to a logo .png file on my company's network. As I mentioned above there are multiple pages I am configuring for this report so I have defined this header information for each page. The problem I am running into is that SAS crashes when I use the preimage on more than one page. I will get the popup that says "sas.exe has stopped working - Check online for solution, close the program, or Debug the program". If I use it on just one page, the program runs just fine. If I remove the ods region/ods text statements that define the preimage, the program also runs just fine. Additionally, the program is nearly identical to another program I have that calls the preimage multiple times and that program runs fine as well.
I have tried outputting my log and viewing the results I don't see any errors or warnings, all macros are resolving as they should, etc. so at this point I am stuck on how to troubleshoot this further. Any ideas?
