Differences in SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 and 4.2

SAS Enterprise Guide uses HTML as the output default format. So for converted projects in SAS EG 4.2, there is a possible situation where the reports fail to view. Change the default back to HTML (or deploy SAS EG 4.2 with that format option selected). The option in 4.2 is
