Trouble using the gplot proc - ERROR 180-322

[x_yang]

Hi,

So I hope to plot a curve of dots and lines connecting the dots, and below is my code. I am new to SAS and I wonder if the problem is due to the use of iml here. I also pasted the error log below.

proc iml;
delta = do(0, 16, 2);
alpha = 0.1;
z_half_alpha = quantile('NORMAL', 1-(alpha/2));
n = 10;
sigma = 8;
y = 1 - cdf('NORMAL', (z_half_alpha - delta)/sqrt(2*(sigma**2)/n)) + cdf('NORMAL', (- z_half_alpha - delta)/sqrt(2*(sigma**2)/n));
create q5_data var {delta y}; append; close q5_data;

symbol1 v=circle i=sm5; title1 ’Power Curve for Z-test’; 
axis1 label=(’prob’); 
axis2 label=(’delta’);
proc gplot data = q5_data; 
	plot y*delta / haxis=axis2 
			vaxis=axis1 
			vref=0.95; 
run;

And this is the log when I run this piece of code on SAS Studio:

74 delta = do(0, 16, 2);

75 alpha = 0.1;

76 z_half_alpha = quantile('NORMAL', 1-(alpha/2));

77 n = 10;

78 sigma = 8;

79 y = 1 - cdf('NORMAL', (z_half_alpha - delta)/sqrt(2*(sigma**2)/n)) + cdf('NORMAL', (- z_half_alpha -

79 ! delta)/sqrt(2*(sigma**2)/n));

80 create q5_data var {delta y};

80 ! append;

80 ! close q5_data;

NOTE: The data set WORK.Q5_DATA has 9 observations and 2 variables.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi:

  I believe this previous posting sheds some light on your issue: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Smart-Quotes-Vs-Simple-Quotes/td-p/396099

  I think you're having the "smart" quote vs "simple" quote issue or what I call "curly" quotes vs "straight" quotes. Here's a screen shot of your posted code. Note the difference in quotes:

 

You might have copied the PROC GPLOT code from Word or a PDF file that used the "smart" or "curly" quotes. In any case, I believe you need to type over the bad quotes with good quotes. When I did that, the code ran for me:

Note that to stop PROC GPLOT, you need to add a QUIT; statement after the RUN; statement. You should notice the good color coding for quoted strings in your editor when you get the quotes all changed.
