When the number of observations in the data is a multiple of 1024, the residual graphics in several procedures are distorted. Instead of the n (possibly distinct) residuals, the data passed to the graphics renderer contains n identical residuals. This behavior produces incorrect graphical output.

This defect affects certain types of ODS Graphics in a number of procedures in SAS/STAT and SAS/ETS, in particular residual or diagnostic plots. The affected procedures are:

SAS/STAT

GLIMMIX GLM LOESS MIXED PLS QUANTREG REG ROBUSTREG RSREG TTEST

SAS/ETS

ARIMA AUTOREG ENTROPY MODEL PANEL SYSLIN TSCSREG UCM VARMAX
