Requested plot is not showing

Jason2020 — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 18:52:20 GMT

I appreciate assistance with the following:

This procedure is running fine, but the plot is not showing and I am not getting an error message:

ods graphics on;

proc surveyreg ;

cluster school;

class age ;

model ratio_a = age/ vadjust=none;;

lsmeans age / diff plots=(diff meanplot(cl));

format age age. ;

run;

ods graphics off;

Below is information about the sas system I am using:

Anyone with a clue on why the graph is not showing?

Thanks.

Re: Requested plot is not showing

Rick_SAS — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 17:46:50 GMT

Run the following code and let me know if you see the MeanPlot and the DiffPlot.

proc surveyreg data=sashelp.cars(where=(type in ('Sedan', 'SUV', 'Truck')));
cluster origin;
class type ;
model mpg_city = type/ vadjust=none;
lsmeans type / diff plots=(diff meanplot);
run;

If not, there might be something strange with your data. Maybe missing groups? Run the following and let us know what you see

proc freq data=tiz;
tables school*age;
format age age. ;
run;

I did run the code you sent and I don't see a graph. I will check my data. Thanks for the advice.

Re: Requested plot is not showing

Rick_SAS — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 19:48:46 GMT

If you don't see the graph in my code, it isn't your data.

I assume you are running this interactively, right? What interface are you using?

I see you are running SAS/STAT 12.3, but I believe that the LSMEANS statement supported the DiffPlot and MeansPlot in 12.3.

Can you generate any plots? Try running a PROC REG step.

If you don't see plots from PROC REG, check that your ODS destinations are opened and that the select path is not empty. For example:

ODS SHOW; /* show the overall exclude list */

Re: Requested plot is not showing

ballardw — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 22:41:13 GMT

Which ODS Destination are you sending the output to? If you only have the LISTING destination open then ODS Graphics don't appear. You need something like ODS HTML; ODS RTF or ODS PDF thought these last two would be external documents and would not likely open until an ODS RTF or PDF CLOSE is encountered.

Jason2020 — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 18:26:42 GMT

Thank you all very much. Yes, I did not declare a destination for the ODS. I thought it will just show on my screen and then I save it. I don't do graphs that often, so I forgot.

Thanks a gain.
