Thank, but I've tried small value for COLUMNGUTTER and it does not work. Also I'm not sure I understand the second proposal with one single scatterplot. What would be that Group variable knowing that I have 4 variables to display i.e. &Statcol1 to &Statcol4 ? Does that mean that my dataset needs to be repeated 4 times with one variable having &Statcol1 values in 1st part, then &Statcol2 values in 2nd part, &Statcol3 values in 3rd part and finally &Statcol4 values in 4th part ? ...
