I previously used the "ODS Graphics Designer" to create a graph, which I then exported (I exported it as an .eps file, which for some reason was empty, and then as a .jpg file). I saved my work in the Graphics Designer as a .sgd file. However, upon submitting my research to a scientific paper they asked for the graph in higher resolution.   In the meantime, the remote server that I work on (where my data is stored) updated SAS to SAS 9.4 M8, which - apparently - do not include ODS Graphics Designer. I then figured out than I can still open the graph that I made with the following code: proc sgdesign sgd="C:\pathname\pathname\filename.sgd"; run; This runs the code that made the graph, shows it in the results viewer, and from there I can right click and save it - as a low resolution .png file.   In an attempt to export the graph in eps format I tried the following: ods graphics / outputfmt=eps; ods eps file "C:\pathname\pathname\graph.eps"; proc sgdesign sgd="C:\pathname\pathname\filename.sgd"; run; ods eps close; This produces an error in the log - the ods eps file statement is not valid, as well as a warning: "HTML4 destination does not support EPS images. Using the default static format."   I have tried replacing eps with pdf and get the same warning.    I found this table of "supported file types for output destinations", but I can't seem to figure out what an output destination is so while this seems to be informative, I'm not SAS/tech-savy enough to understand what it is this page is trying to tell me.   Anybody with similar issues that have found a solution?  I'm not picky with the file format, as long as I get an image out in decent resolution (300 dpi) Thanks! ...

Hi,    I'm attempting to "translate" code from STATA to SAS (with a few changes) for a negative binomial regression analysis. However there seems to be one function in STATA where I can't find the equivalent SAS command; the below STATA code contains the option "nocons", which specifies that a categorical variable should be treated as if it has no base, or, in other words, that all levels of the variable is kept in the model.  I would like to do the same in SAS but I can't find a way to do this.   STATA code: nbreg var1 var2#var3, irr nocons exp(var4) vce(cluster var5)   SAS code (without nocons equivalent): proc genmod data=data; class var2 var3 var4 var5; model var1=var2 var3 var2*var3 / type3 dist=negbin offset=var6; repeated sub=var4(var5) / type=unstr; run;   Thanks! ...
