27. t t FSGRAPH A COMBINATION OF THE SAS FSP AND SAS GRAPH PRODUCTS FOR DEVELOPING GRAPHICS R D Muller Elanco Products Company Abstract A system has been developed to generate SAS code for all procedures in the SAS GRAPII product from data entered in SAS data sets on screens in PROC FSEDIT of the SAS FSP package Data entered on screens includes such items as data set names variable names axis colors labels etc The system permits for rapid creation of graphics during interactive SAS sessions with provisions made for editing and storing both the input SAS data sets and the resultant generated SAS code Provisions are also made for storing and replaying the graphic images using GOUT data scts and PROC GREPLAY The system is particularly useful for decision support applica tions where users with minimal programming knowledge desire to use SAS GRAPH as an exploratory data analysis tool on previously created SAS data sets n extenuation of the system permits for use of selected pro cedures on nongraphics devices such as nongraphics terminals and printers INTRODUCTION To effectively utilize SAS GRAPH users must be at least moderately experienced in the use of the SAS programming language and must have a fairly well estahlished understanding of the operating environment in which they are working A quick overview of the documentation furnished with SAS GRAPH indicates minimal programming knowledge is required for simpl
