I can get an html graph on plot of my Actural vales
but does not seem to give me a forecast graph which is what I am
looking for
I am using Enterprise Guide...can anyone give me some insight as
to what my notes are telling me and how I could get a forecast graph?

From: Andrew Karp Sierra Info Services on
From reading your SASLOG messages, it appears you don't have SAS/ETS
as part of your license. PROC EXPAND is in that module.

But, PROC EXPAND does not generate statisical forecasts of future
values from observed historical time series values. There are a
number of other SAS/ETS procedures that do, including PROC FORECAST
and PROC ARIMA, which can be accessed via the EG tool.

I think your best next step is to check with your SAS administrator
about wheher or not the ETS module is part of your licensed "package"
from SAS and if not, whether it makes sense to add it. Without ETS
you will have very limited options for statisical forecasting using
the EG interface.

Hope this helps....

Andrew,

Thanks for giving me a response,

I recently upgraded our license by adding ETS---
SAS/GRAPH 30DEC2058
SAS/ETS 30JUL2010
SAS/SHARE 14JUL2052


Base SAS shows above that I am good until the end of the month and
then we will have a contract good for a year.

SAS told me to :

Start -> Programs -> SAS -> Renew SAS Software (might be SAS
Utilities)

Basically you are looking for the button for Renew SAS Software.

Once that opens, you just need to browse to your new license file.

I did the renewal like stated above and as you can see above it does
show me license
and I am trying to run test data thru ETS to see if it is working but
I find it hard to believe that
all I had to do was the above renewal on the license.

tho
If ETS was not working why would I get the actural values graph?

Hi Greg...

To be honest with you, I am not sure how forecasting and analysis of
time series data are implemted in EG. I think you should contact SAS
again to see if they can help address your installation issues.
