Hi,

Depending on how you want to display the image, you may want to opt for a Data-Driven Content object. 

The DDC object receives data from the report as any other object. You need to create an HTML page which receives the data and displays the base64 image. You can find examples of DDC object and code on different articles in the communities.sas.com. 

In your case, after receiving the data you should use JavaScript to generate the img tag(s). The src property of your image should look like this: 

src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4 //8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="

Let me know if you need more information about how to proceed. 

Regards,
