Using the SYSPRINTFONT= system option when you create graphics output using the ODS RTF destination might result in an error that is similar to the following:
. . . more output . . .
ERROR: Generic critical error.
The error typically occurs when you use a Base SAS® procedure (such as SGPLOT) and you submit the code multiple times during the same SAS® session. It also occurs when the ODS RTF destination is specified. For example, when you specify an ODS PDF destination, the issue does not occur.
To circumvent the issue, you can remove the SYSPRINTFONT= system option from the code. Another workaround is to use the following statement to change the graphics output format option to PNG:
