normal density curve in pdf file not showing

statz — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 13:29:13 GMT

Hi,

I would like to output a histogram with the normal density curve and the qqplot for a given data. With the following code, I can output the histogram and qqplot, but the histogram does not have the normal density curve. The normal density curve is included if the output is in html, BUT if the output is in pdf, it is not included. Does anyone know what is missing in my code? Thank you.

%LET path1= C:\Desktop\output1.pdf;*/output;
ods pdf file="&path1" NOGFOOTNOTE STARTPAGE=yes pdftoc=2 contents=yes style=printer bookmarklist=hide ;
data new;
input y @@;
datalines;

;
run;
ods select histogram qqplot ;
proc univariate data=new ;
histogram y/ grid normal( mu=est sigma=est color=red w=2.5) name='histogram' vscale=proportion;
qqplot y / normal( mu=est sigma=est color=red) name='qqplot' contents="" description="";
run;

ods pdf close;

By the way, I get this error:

ERROR: Requested function is not supported.
ERROR: Unable to process the graph.

Did you answer any of the questions Rick posed in your other post? https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-GRAPH-and-ODS-Graphics/density-curve-in-histogram-not-appearing-in-pdf-file/m-p/233908

Since this is graphics or ods related Data management isn't the best place to post this topic. And to reduce getting partial answers in multiple threads please do not post duplicates unless requested or suggested.
