Hi All , 

I have been trying to create a powerpoint with a background image . 

ods POWERPOINT options(backgroundimage="myimage.png")

 

But I keep getting the following warning : Tagset Option: backgroundimage Not recognized. and the image does not come up.

 

I am using the following SAS distribution : SYSVLONG=9.04.01M2P072314

 

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately you need SAS 9.4 M3+ for this to work

 

From the docs:

OPTIONS ( ADVANCE_AFTER= | ADVANCE_ON_MOUSE_CLICK= | BACKGROUNDCOLOR= | BACKGROUNDIMAGE= | BACKGROUNDREPEAT= | DURATION= | EFFECT_OPTION= | SOUND= | TRANSITION= )

specifies suboptions and a named value when using the ODS POWERPOINT destination. The OPTIONS option is new in the third release of SAS 9.4.
