It produces two graphs, one for Sales*Month and Returns*Month where *=By.
I want to produce one grpah with sales and returns on the same graph. I need the sales to be in green (color=vibg) and the returns in red, I guess its color=vibr. I want to know how I would get both measures on the same graph
Probably you want to use the PLOT2 command
plot2 RETURNS*month / haxis=axis1 vaxis=axis2 noframe;
and the SYMBOL2 command where you assing the color vibr
Probably you want to use the PLOT2 command
plot2 RETURNS*month / haxis=axis1 vaxis=axis2 noframe;

Here are a couple of options for you to do straight overlays with GPLOT and SGPLOT. If you want secondary Y axis support, do what Paige said for GPLOT or use the Y2AXIS option on the "returns" SERIES plot.
