SAS Procedure that only outputs a Probability Plot and Test for Normality

Hello,

I am trying to get a simple probability plot with the test for normalily. There are many ways I have found to do this in SAS 9.4, however, the issue that I have is that it comes with much more output that I do not need. I was wondering how one could get just a probability plot with a p-value for a test of normality (such as Shapiro-Wilk or Anderson-Darling) in the plot or in a seperate table without all of the other tables that a procedure such as proc univariate will give you.

Below is an example what I would desire to have:

Thank you,

Proc Univariate with PPLOT.

You can control what is output with ODS SELECT <graphname>;

Find the graph name by using ODS TRACE or checking the documentation.

Before calling proc univariate:

ODS SELECT NONE;

ODS SELECT ProbPlot;

Wish I had ran across this statement long ago! Just saw the ODS trace statement to determine the names of the tables from the link you posted. This is great! Thank you.
