24928 - Display the BY group as name and description with graphics output

Sample 24928: Display the BY group as name and description with graphics output

This sample program creates GRSEG entries with the BY group value as the name and as part of the description field on the catalog entry.

While this sample program actually produces a total of four graphs, only the first graph is shown in the Results tab for this sample.

The graphics output in the Results tab was produced using SAS® 9.2. Submitting the sample code with releases of SAS prior to SAS 9.2 might produce different results.
