Requested plot is not showing

[Jason2020]

I appreciate assistance with the following:

This procedure is running fine, but the plot is not showing and I am not getting an error message:

ods graphics on;

proc surveyreg ;

 cluster school;

 class age ;

 model ratio_a = age/ vadjust=none;;

 lsmeans age / diff plots=(diff meanplot(cl));

 format age age. ;

run;

ods graphics off;

Below is information about the sas system I am using:

Anyone with a clue on why the graph is not showing?

Thanks.

[Rick_SAS]

Run the following code and let me know if you see the MeanPlot and the DiffPlot.

proc surveyreg data=sashelp.cars(where=(type in ('Sedan', 'SUV', 'Truck')));
cluster origin;
class type ;
model mpg_city = type/ vadjust=none;
lsmeans type / diff plots=(diff meanplot);
run;

If not, there might be something strange with your data. Maybe missing groups? Run the following and let us know what you see

proc freq data=tiz;
tables school*age;
format age age. ;
run;

[Jason2020]

I did run the code you sent and I don't see a graph. I will check my data. Thanks for the advice.

[Rick_SAS · Accepted solution]

If you don't see the graph in my code, it isn't your data.

I assume you are running this interactively, right? What interface are you using?

I see you are running SAS/STAT 12.3, but I believe that the LSMEANS statement supported the DiffPlot and MeansPlot in 12.3.

Can you generate any plots? Try running a PROC REG step.

If you don't see plots from PROC REG, check that your ODS destinations are opened and that the select path is not empty. For example:

ODS SHOW;  /* show the overall exclude list */

[ballardw]

Which ODS Destination are you sending the output to? If you only have the LISTING destination open then ODS Graphics don't appear. You need something like ODS HTML; ODS RTF or ODS PDF thought these last two would be external documents and would not likely open until an ODS RTF or PDF CLOSE is encountered.

[Jason2020]

Thank you all very much. Yes, I did not declare a destination for the ODS. I thought it will just show on my screen and then I save it. I don't do graphs that often, so I forgot.

Thanks a gain.
