SAS Gplot

I am trying to create a series of line charts. I created two in gplot using the JOIN option. When I try to create the next two using the same option, SAS only produces bar charts. The code below gives me a bar chart instead of a line.

symbol1 color=black
interpol=join;

symbol2 color=red
interpol=join;

title "VetPop2018 vs VetPop2016 - State=37";
proc gplot data=vp18_vp16;
where st = "37";
plot (vp18_male vp16_male)*year / skipmiss overlay legend=legend;
run;

Any specific reason to not use SGPLOT here? It's a lot more intuitive and better graphics. SAS/Graph, G-Procedures are outdated.

I used sgpot -- the first set came out as lines, the second set were bar charts. I don't know what's different - same syntax. The data are numeric.

Show your code. If you can't provide sample data perhaps consider using a SASHELP data set like class or heart.

The SAS examples are pretty clear IMO

Can you share what your output looks like?
