Cannot complete the syntax for PROC SGPLOT

[sasgiaz]

Hello. Do you know how these syntax came out error?

PROC SGPLOT DATA=WORK.Sheet1;
Symbol1 i=splines v=dot;
PLOT Radio*period;
RUN;

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

72

73 PROC SGPLOT DATA=WORK.Sheet1;

74 Symbol1 i=splines v=dot;

74 Symbol1 i=splines v=dot;

_______

180

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

75 PLOT Radio*period;

____

180

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

76 RUN;

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

Your help much appreciated, Thankyou

Afaik proc sgplot does not have symbol or plot-statement.

You can find the documentation here.

SYMBOL statements are primarily used by Proc Gplot and G3d and are not valid for Proc SGplot.

PLOT statement also is not used by Proc Sgplot as the first statement would be the type of plot scatter, series, vbox.

It looks like you would request a SPLINE plot and a scatter plot to over lay the dot markers.

Try

Proc sgplot data=work.sheet1;
    spline x=period y=radio;
    scatter x=period y=radio/ markerattrs=(symbol=circlefilled);
run;

Or try Proc Gplot.

Looks like you're taking GPLOT code and just switching it to SGPLOT and expecting it to run. 

Unfortunately that doesn't work. 

You need the correct SG code to make this work. 

If you're finding code that references SAS/GRAPH I wouldn't use it, that's fairly outdated method to create graphics and the quality is not nearly as good, and it's harder to code in.
