It occurred to me that I could test your ODS code using 9.1.3 and one of the
graphics procs found there so I used GPLOT in place of SGPANEL. The code ran
with no problems. My log was

Dear All,

I'm using SAS 9. on Windows. I'm trying to use proc sgpanel and save the
result in a pdf file. I get a error note but I cannot figure out where is
coming from the problem precisely enough to solve the issue.

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

Here is my program and my log message

Best Regards,

Véronique
