In this
example, the PLOT statement uses a plot request
of the type y-variable*x-variable to plot the variable HIGH against the variable YEAR to show
the annual highs of the Dow Jones Industrial Average over several decades.
This example uses a SYMBOL statement to specify a plot
symbol and connect data points with a straight line. In addition, the example
shows how PLOT statement options can add reference lines and modify the axes
(AXIS statements are not used).
