Sample 24932: Display the left and right axes with a single combined legend with PROC GPLOT
 |  |  |  |  |  |
To produce a single combined legend, the SYMBOL3 and SYMBOL4 statements in the sample code are identical. While the third entry in the legend actually represents the new dummy variable added to the data set, the use of a LEGEND statement makes it appear as though the third legend entry represents the variable plotted by the PLOT2 statement.

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.
