Using SAS University, Cannot use "PROC GPLOT"

[squirrel]

Hello,  Every time I use PROC GPLOT I get an error stating that the PROC GPLOT procedure cannot be found. Please help with this!

CODE

title "Proc GPLOT";

symbol value=diamond;

proc gplot data=sashelp.cars;

plot length*weight;

run;

quit;

I don't believe the university edition comes with the SAS Graph package. You can duplicate most of the GPLOT graphs with Proc SGPLOT though.

Hmmm PROC SGPLOT works fine,  Just assumed that GPLOT would as well because as you begin typing the PROC G... the GPLOT statement comes up as an autofill option, and as a procedure to select.

Thanks

Hi:

  The autocomplete option shows you the whole universe of possible and correct syntax. It does NOT filter out the software that is not there. The reason is that we don't know where you are running your code until you actually hit the SUBMIT button. The "G" procedures are SAS/GRAPH procedures (GPLOT, GCHART, GREPLAY, GRADAR, GMAP, etc) but the "SG" procedures (SGPLOT, SGPANEL, SGSCATTER, SGRENDER) belong to Base SAS as part of the the ODS Graphics framework, starting with SAS 9.3. So when you use the SAS University Edition, you will want to pick the "SG" graphical procedures.

I try to use the statespace procedure, but procedure not found. The same situation with VARMAX. 

Code:

title1 'Gas Furnace Data';
title2 'Box & Jenkins Series J';
title3 'Automatically Selected Model';

proc statespace data=seriesj cancorr;
var x y;
run;

Journal:

 What more procedure from the Knowledge Base list not found ? 

How to use PROCEDURE STATESPACE ?

Hi:
PROC STATESPACE (like PROC VARMAX) is one of the SAS/ETS (Econometric Time Series) procedures. The SAS University Edition, in a Virtual Machine or on the Amazon AWS does NOT have access to any of the ETS procedures. Basically, when you use SAS University Edition, you have access to Base SAS capabilities (which includes ODS and ODS Graphics and SAS Macro facility), SAS/STAT and some of SAS/IML). You can read the full information sheet here: http://www.sas.com/content/dam/SAS/en_us/doc/factsheet/sas-university-edition-107140.pdf

I'm getting the same error. I try to change to sgplot and still getting an error: "ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order."

So given it does not have any time series PROCEDURES can you rename this to SAS School edition?  Where are time series taught ?  At University - but the University Edition does not have them.  I assume it does not have a lot of other University type methods available.  Can this be passed up the chain please and given a re-think?  SAS is shooting itself in the foot here.  I guess we will have to switch to teaching and using R.

As a professor, you could use SAS OnDemand for Academics. It's a SAS environment that is hosted by SAS, and it's free for professors and students. This SAS environment has a few more SAS products available, including SAS/GRAPH.

You can also use SGPLOT to easily label data points -- many of the plot types include a DATALABEL option, easier than traditional GPLOT coding.

Also, SAS University Edition supports these Time Series procs:  TIMEDATA, TIMESERIES, ARIMA, ESM, UCM, and TIMEID.  Full SAS/ETS is in the OnDemand Environment.

There I numerous macros from Michael Friendly's web- site that I use with my students and a lot of my own code.  For example the "%label" that creates labels for plots.  How can these be used without GPLOT?  It means that the University Edition is not really viable for my modules.  To re-write those is rather a tall order and how you create labels for points I have no idea.  any suggestions please.

Several ETS procs are now available - but not those.
