Is there a way that proc sgplot (vbox option) can generate the summary statistics for the boxplot like proc boxplot does? I want to show all the values: min, max, median, mean, and n for each category on the x axis.

Can you point me to some sample code? I am sure I am not the first to ask this question.

Thanks.
