Is it possible to set up the PROC Shewhart procedure to only print a chart or output if a CL is violated? I am trying to set it up as a reporting procedure for multiple metrics at multiple units so checking through each graph would be time intensive. Is there a way to only have the procedure output if there is a data point outside of either the UCL or LCL?
Here's how I would do this.
Step 1. I would run PROC SHEWHART with the NOCHART and NOCHART2 options and also the OUTTABLE= option. This produces no chart, but it also produces a data set from the OUTTABLE= option that contains a variable _EXLIM_ indiciating which control chart rule has been violated, if any.
Step 2. Once you have the OUTTABLE= data set, you can then decide if you need to run PROC SHEWHART a second time to actually produce the charts.
