Usage Note 46077: The error "cannot open resource" occurs when you try to create a PDF file with ODS and the SAS® fonts are not available
 |  |  |  |
When you create a PDF file using the ODS statement in SAS® 9.2 and later, if your SAS installation does not have access to the SAS fonts, you might see an error similar to the following:
ERROR: FreeType base module FT_New_Face -- cannot open resource
In SAS 9.2 and later, the SAS fonts should be located in the SASHOME UNIX file system directory on z/OS. You can find the location of the SAS fonts by running the following SAS code:
PROC OPTIONS OPTION=FONTSLOC; RUN;
The SASHOME directory must be mounted, the UNIX System Services path that is specified in the FONTSLOC= option must exist and the user attempting to use
the fonts must have UNIX file permissions to read the SASHOME directory.
