Question about PROC SGPLOT

[Juan_Jose]

Hello, I am having a hard time understanding the SGPLOT, I was handled a code to review and run and found the following error. Any information, documentation, would really help me

proc sgplot data = seg_tmp.all_v2;
format MNTH_SMRY_START_DT dtmonyy.;
vbox log_tot_trans_am/ DATASKIN = gloss nomean category=MNTH_SMRY_START_DT;
BY SEG;
label MNTH_SMRY_START_DT = 'Month';
xaxis label = 'Month';
run;

And the following errors:

proc sgplot data = seg_tmp.all_v2;
 format MNTH_SMRY_START_DT dtmonyy.;
 vbox log_tot_trans_am/ DATASKIN = gloss nomean category=MNTH_SMRY_START_DT;
                                       --------

The message says that the DATASKIN option is not allowed there.

Do you have the exact same versions of SAS?

If not, that may be why.

You can find your version of SAS using:

%put &SYSVLONG;

DATASKIN is an option as of SAS 9.4 TS1M1

Here's the documentation:

Which version of SAS are you running this code in? I believe dataskin for VBOX is pretty recent addition and may not be available in your version. It was added in SAS 9.4.1 (the first maintenance release of 9.4)
