Hello,
I need help to export graphs from SAS University Edition as EPS. Thanks

EPS isn't well supported anymore but it's possible. Here's one alternative which dumps your files to an RTF document automatically. Just make sure to open the RTF file with Word, not WordPad or NotePad.
ods rtf file = '/folders/myfolders/demo.rtf' ;
proc reg data=class;
model estimate = actual;
run;
ods rtf close;
Some longer methods here:
I couldn't find a way to generate EPS (most likely because I don't know how) - are any other formats acceptable? EPS seems to be a fairly old file format and SVG is a lot more common these days.
I'll move it to the graphics forum so someone else can answer for sure though.
The other approach I tried, that didn't work:
ods html5 close;
ods listing file='/folders/myfolders/list.txt' gpath='/folders/myfolders/';
ods graphics / outputfmt=eps ;;
proc reg data=class;
model estimate = actual;
run;
ods listing close;
ods html5;

Thanks Reeza,
It generated two of the three graphs, but the one I want to get is not generating (Fitplot). Can you please check. Also it gives some errors like:

Dear Reeza,
I also try SVG but the figures are separated in different parts (see the attached picture, please).
