Enterprise Guide & ETS PROC AUTOREG and Fit Diagnostic Plots

[KimLeBouton]

I have a local SAS for Windows 9.4M7 license. It was a classic/traditional install, not a planned deployment. I oversee the install instructions for our environment.

I was preparing a 10 minute session to show non-SAS users how SAS users interact with their environment: batch, Display Manager, SAS Studio (3.81) and Enterprise Guide (8.3). I used an example from SAS/ETS. Click here for code. 

Using default (html), Display Manager and SAS Studio produced the Fit Diagnostic Plots at the end of each PROC AUTOREG. EG only included the reports with no plots. I ran the "Check for Updates" for EG and my install stated all updates applied. The SAS log for EG doesn't note any issues.

For Community and Technical Support, I tried searching "Enterprise Guide" "PROC AUTOREG". I didn't receive any hits.

I haven't opened a ticket yet.

TIA,
Kim

Can you show us the LOG from the EG code that didn't show the plots? Include the code and all notes. Sometimes we'll see something that is just enough different from expected to provide a hint.

My bad for not including the log with my first post. The solution for EG is adding "ods graphic on;"

Here's the original log.

Try turning ODS GRAPHICS on when running the example. It worked for me.

ods graphics on;

proc sgplot data=gnp noautolegend;
   scatter x=date y=y;
   xaxis grid values=('01jan1901'd '01jan1911'd '01jan1921'd '01jan1931'd
             '01jan1941'd '01jan1951'd '01jan1961'd '01jan1971'd
             '01jan1981'd '01jan1991'd);
run;

proc autoreg data=gnp;
   model y = t / nlag=2 method=ml;
run;

proc autoreg data = gnp;
   model y = / stationarity =(adf =3);
run;

proc autoreg data=gnp;
   model dy = / nlag=1 method=ml;
run;

This did the trick. Thank you.
