Hello.

OK I give up.

I have the following filename associated so I can output my gchart to a gif.

* statements used to re-direct graphics output;
filename br "&cont_htm\inventory_br.gif";
goptions gsfname=br;

proc gchart;
etc;
run;
quit;

log indicates

39 RECORDS WRITTEN TO g:\voice\htdocs\target\cont\inventory_br.gif

I then do the same thing in another file.

* statements used to re-direct graphics output;
filename fmt "&cont_htm\test.gif";
goptions gsfname=fmt;

proc gchart;
etc;
run;
quit;

log indicates

43 RECORDS WRITTEN TO g:\voice\htdocs\target\cont\test.gif\gchart.gif

Why is SAS appending the default catalog member name to my
filename?????????????????????
I don't want to use the name= option in gchart.

To make things more bizarre, If I change test.gif to inventory_pc.gif in
the second filename statement, I get the correct output.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nick
