What am I entering wrong in the following? I am trying to make a graph of factor 2 vs factor 1 and factor 3 vs factor 1
386 proc plot;
387 plot factor2*factor1=brand factor3*factor1=brand;
ERROR: Variable FACTOR2 not found.
ERROR: Variable FACTOR1 not found.
ERROR: Variable BRAND not found.
ERROR: Variable FACTOR3 not found.
ERROR: Variable FACTOR1 not found.
ERROR: Variable BRAND not found.
You missed to write the dataset to be used.
Without data the variables are unknown.
The syntax should be like:
proc plot data=<my_data> <more options> ;
For some procs, if you don't specify a data=, then it will use the last active dataset.
Here's an example:
proc sort data=sashelp.class;
by age;
run;
proc plot;
plot height*weight;
run;
But I would recommend always specifying the data=, so there is no uncertainty, like:
proc plot data=sashelp.class;
plot height*weight;
run;
