Problem Note 13115: EMF, PNG, and JPEG not recognizing aggregate storage locations

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
The following errors may be received when generating graphics output to
files using the EMF, PNG, or JPEG device drivers:

  ERROR: Invalid file, <directory>.
  ERROR: Unable to create file <directory>.
  ERROR: Unable to initialize graphics device.

The errors can occur when the FILENAME statement points to an aggregate
storage location such as a directory.  With other device drivers, such
as SASEMF, GIF and TIFFP, the files are created correctly.

To circumvent the problem, specify the NOFILEONLY option on the GOPTIONS
statement when writing EMF, PNG or JPEG files to an aggregate storage
location.


A fix for SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) for this issue is available at:
