When you create the stored process, it must meet the following requirements:
-
create an image file in one of the following formats:
PNG, JPG, and GIF (but not animated GIF).
-
-
write directly to _WEBOUT.
-
not include
the %STPBEGIN and %STPEND macros.
-
not produce
HTML output. SAS BI Dashboard does not support the display of HTML
content.
The stored process that you want to use must include GOPTIONS statements to direct the output to an image file through the
special fileref _WEBOUT.
Add the following code at the beginning of the SAS/GRAPH code that creates the image:
goptions gsfname=_webout gsfmode=replace;
goptions device=png;
Note: The device setting must be
GIF, JPG, or PNG.

sure to use the following settings in SAS Enterprise Guide:
