If you don't have a Z variable (which means all data points are in the same group), but you still want to show the legend. You can create a dummy z vaxiable:

data class; set sashelp.class; z='All'; run;

legend1 frame position=(center inside right) label=none; proc gplot data=class; plot weight*height=z / legend=legend1; run;
