Problem Note 46629: Unable to access data sets in the Work library from the ODS Graphics Designer
 |  |  |  |
You might not be able to access data sets in the Work library or data sets in a password-protected directory from the ODS Graphics Designer. This problem occurs if you have one or more LIBNAME statements pointing to a permanent directory that either does not exist or is password protected.
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
If the directory is password protected, the following error messages are issued:
The file 'GroupedSeriesPlot.sgd' cannot be opened. Data set 'WORK.[dataset]' does
not exist.
NOTE: com.sas.ionm.SASIOMDefs.GenericError: Incorrect syntax to this LIBNAME
statement. This engine does not accept a physical name.

If the LIBNAME statement points to a directory that does not exist, the following error messages are issued:
The library is empty or data sets are not usable.
ODS Graphics Designer failed to connect to its server. This may be caused by
internal timing issues. Retrying might be successful.

To circumvent the problem, remove all LIBNAME statements that point to a library that does not exist or LIBNAME statements that point to a password-protected directory.
Beginning in the second maintenance release of SAS® 9.3 (TS1M2), the ODS Graphics Designer ignores library assignments that point to non-existent directories as well as libraries that are password protected.
