Please look at x-axis. I cannot see the x values well

Well, you have a couple problems - the main one is that you're not using you're newly created variable, SASDATE, in the GPLOT step - instead, you're using the original, unformatted version, YYMM.  You also might consider using SGPLOT rather than GPLOT to get more modern-looking graphics.  Also, since your data are longitudinal, it will probably be easier to visualize as a line (SERIES) rather than as a scatter plot.  Here's an extremely simple version:

proc sgplot data=have2 noautolegend;
series x=sasdate y=Y;
scatter x=sasdate y=Y / markerattrs=(size=5 color=black symbol=circlefilled);
run;

Can you please show me how to use it with my sas date var?
In x axis I want to see all my date values.
