Problem Note 34939: Statistical Graphics procedures do not ignore some graphics device settings the first time they are run
 |  |  |  |
The Statistical Graphics procedures, such as SGPLOT, SGSCATTER, and SGPANEL, might not ignore some device settings specified on a GOPTIONS statement the first time the procedures are run. A warning message similar to the following will be issued if specifying either DEVICE=ACTIVEX or DEVICE=JAVA on a GOPTIONS statement:
WARNING: Unsupported device 'ACTIVEX' for LISTING destination.
Using device 'ACTXIMG'.
The Statistical Graphics procedures should be ignoring any device options specified on a GOPTIONS statement.
The warning message that is issued should not cause a problem when the Statistical Graphics procedures are run in interactive SAS. However, if the procedures are run against a stored process server, SAS might stop processing after the warning is issued and no output will be generated.
To circumvent the problem, remove the DEVICE= option from the GOPTIONS statement.
