When do you use the quit; statement in proc gplot? When do you not?

You always use it to end the PROC.

Hi:
ALL of the "G" SAS/GRAPH graphics procedures -- GCHART, GPLOT, GRADAR, GREPLAY, GBARLINE, etc -- end with a
QUIT;
statement.

You can write:

proc gplot data=SASHELP.CLASS;
  plot WEIGHT*AGE;
  run;
  plot HEIGHT*AGE;
  where SEX='F';
  run;
quit;

All the procedures that can run successive tasks are ended with QUIT, since the end of a task is not the end of the procedure.

proc datasets, proc sql, etc.
