About SGE Files Generated on z/OS Systems

The ODS Graphics Editor is a graphical application and, therefore, does not run on z/OS systems. You cannot edit graphs on z/OS, either from the SAS Results window or in the stand-alone editor. However, you can generate SGE files on z/OS, and then move the files to another system on which you can run the editor (Windows, Linux, or UNIX). Then you can start the editor and edit the SGE files that you moved. For more information about generating SGE files, see Creating Editable Graphics .
When you generate SGE files on z/OS, SAS always writes the SGE files to the UNIX file system (UFS). The z/OS FILESYSTEM= setting is ignored for writing SGE files. You must be authorized to create UFS files in your environment in order to generate the SGE files.
Note: SGE files can be rendered on z/OS systems using the SGRENDER procedure. For more information, see SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide.
