What SAS user interface are you using? You will need one that supports graphics if you want to display the results. SAS Studio or Enterprise Guide should work.  ... View more

You might want to clarify what you mean by "What I want is to have each image in its own image file.". If you mean that the first graph goes to d:\path\image1.png and the second to d:\path.image2.png and so on then you will need to create each "image" in either a separate graphic call or possibly a BY statement in sgrender with the template used creating only one "image".   Note this from the documentation: LAYOUT LATTICE Statement Creates a grid of graphs that automatically aligns plot areas and tick display areas across grid cells to facilitate data comparisons among graphs. So the intent behind lattice is a single image for comparison. ... View more

What you need is the ability to group separately by two classifiers, one for marker symbol, one for marker color.  This is NOT supported for SCATTER plot, but IS supported in SERIES plot.  You can use SERIES plot with markers and set line thickness=0.  Then, you can use the GROUP, GROUPMC and GROUPMS to control the marker color and symbols separately.  Remember to use a Style with Attrpriority=none, or set Attrpriority=none in the ODs Graphics statement to see the different marker symbols. ...

Maybe this link will help. Its an old one but it does include examples of using the EXCELXP tagset on mainframes. If you can get these working it might work for ODS EXCEL:   http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/ods/templateFAQ/MVSODS3.pdf ... View more

If you really really need SGPLOT to summarize the data by day, you need to use VBAR.  Then the x- axis will be discrete, and the axis will try to show each value, thinned by collisions.  To avoid this you will need a format to make the non- labeled values to blank.  Setting the VALUES option will subset axis range.   If you can summarize the data by day prior to SGPLOT, using MEANS, you can use a needle plot with a real time axis.  Then, you can set the values as mentioned above.  You could also use a HIGHLOW plot to get a bar like feel.   With SAS 9.40M3, you have best of both worlds, and you can use VBAR with a linear axis by setting XAXIS TYPE=Linear;   ...

Sorry for the typo.   I suggest SGPANEL, because that can separate each month into a separate cell.   Using SGANNO, I believe you can use DISCERTEOFFSET to draw the lines half way between the values.  I am on vacation, and away from my computer, so I cannot send you sample code.  Back in a week. ...
