java.lang.NullPointerException
ERROR: Physical file does not exist, C:\DOCUME~1\saslam\LOCALS~1\Temp\SAS Temporary
The directory for the physical file is your WORK directory.
This problem is most likely to occur if the GROUP= and CURVELABEL= options are specified on a plot statement in the template code and the group variable contains missing values.
To circumvent the problem, remove the observations from the data set where the group variable contains missing values.
