Hi everyone,
Thank you for all your suggestions. It is a pity that I cannot
replicate what was being done with the code output for functions in
the Results window. I felt that this was a major advantage over SAS
when you are first learning to code in either of them.
I will have a look at the book as I would love to learn graphs much
better than the defaults!
Thanks,
Lisa

However, within the graph editor you can use the recorder to document the changes that you make from the standard graph and save those as a ‘program’ to run within that environment at any time in the future.
