Subordinate statements
![see line 6 in Figure: Typical SAS Program](images/progstructurecallout6.png)
are statements used within the procedure that perform
the work of the procedure. Subordinate statements that generate graphs
are called
action statements. At least
one action statement is required for a procedure to produce a graph.
Examples of action statements are the HBAR statement in the GCHART
procedure and the BUBBLE statement in the GPLOT procedure.
Non-action statements
are those that do not generate graphs. The GRID statement in PROC
G3GRID and the DELETE statement in PROC GDEVICE are examples of non-action
statements.
