I can't explain it, but I had the same problem yesterday. With the
attached code it now goes to the correct directory, but SAS
automatically names the gif outputs sequentially, while I want to name
them myself. That's what the &yyyyq text indicates. That wouldn't be
important for you, but the code may help. Just input your CDrive for
the paths and it should work. good luck.
