Storing Graphs Generated With BY-Group Processing in Separate Files

Overview When exporting a single graph to a specific file, one can name the output file using a FILENAME statement. If one produces several graphs from a single procedure using a BY statement, they will each be written to that same file. Some formats, such as CGM and GIF, can store multiple images in the same file, so with BY-group processing one could append multiple graphs to the same output file. However, some programs can only import one image from such a file. Other formats, like PNG and JPEG, were designed to store only a single image. When using these formats, each graph that is created from the BY statement will replace the one before it.
