Hi everyone, Thank-you very much for your help, much appreciated Casey - your information solved the problem for me - thanks so much!!!  The problem was that I hadn't realised that the EG closes all ODS destinations after each bit of code is submitted!!  So what was happening was that I was selecting and then submitting the ODS lines of code: ODS listing GPATH = "C:\mygraphs" sge = on; ods graphics on; And after this I then selected and submitted the lines of code for the graph (I was doing a step at a time as I wanted to check where the problem lay) - but of course because I had already submitted the ODS lines of code in a separate step, immediately after EG opened the destinations it then closed them again!  Quite funny really!! Running all of the code in a single step produces both the sge and png files each time - hooray!!! Michelle - thanks very much for your tip too.  I'd actually already installed the .dll to get ODS graphics designer working earlier and it worked beautifully   But it's a great tip to know about as ODS graphics designer is brilliant for creating graphs from point-and-click!  For the particular thing that I was doing at the moment though, which is wanting to create a graph from code and then to edit this, I think that I need to use the ODS graphics editor rather than ODS graphics designer though, as I think that ODS graphics designer can only create a graph from point-and-click rather than from code?  But thank-you very much for your hint Also, on a related note, if anyone knows if one can create a graph in Designer from code, I'd be very interested in knowing about this (that'd be very handy if so - I prefer to use code as it's quicker in general than using point-and-click, however Designer is very handy for making changes to graphs as it saves one having to use the graph templating language!).  Or if anyone knows whether one can convert a SGE (ODS graphics editor) file to a SGD (ODS graphics designer) file, I'd also be most interested to know this (as then I could create the SGE file using code and then open the graph in Designer to make the changes).  (possibly I should create a new post re these questions?) Many thanks to you all for your help Cheers, Zaneta ... View more

Hi Sanjay, Thanks very much for your comments, and for forwarding my question onto the EG group   (apologies, I'm very new to the SAS forums and until now I didn't realise that there was one specifically for EG questions - excellent to know that there is one ). Re the SGE file being created - do you mean that indeed I should see this file in "C:\mygraphs" ?  This is the case when I run the code on SAS 9.2 but the file doesn't get created when I run the above code in SAS EG.  Do you know why this might be? (it doesn't matter that SAS EG won't download the file as I can easily open the SGE file directly from the ODS Graphics editor anyway - but the problem is that I need the file to be created which currently isn't the case). Thanks for your suggestions re ways of creating graphs using code too.  I've used several of these methods before and they work very well using code.  Do you know whether or not any of these methods can also be used in EG to create editable graphs?
