I know it's Friday. :)

Actually SAS/GRAPH continues to cycle plot symbol value through the colors
list (256 colors?) until all the colors have been used if you don't
specify a color, then it will switch to the next symbol value, so you need
to specify the color option.

Hi, Ya, (it is fun to say this!! :-)

It is just the way it is -- the symbol statements does not work unless the
color option is specified, except the first one.

Cheers,
Chang
